Questions today about tradeshows on #AVinTheAM on that other platform.
It's incredible to me how fast we forgot the lessons of the pandemic when it comes to accessibility and neurodiverse individuals being able to "attend" shows. We're right back to 2019.
No virtual component. No nothing for the people who can't travel or even get around the shows easily.
And now, no masks.
Do I think it's helpful to see equipment in person? Sure, if it's a training session for a small group or a curated speaker shootout. Otherwise, tradeshows are just social contests for extroverts and nightmares for us introverts.

I still miss the #AVinTheAM conversations on Sunday mornings. Just feels like something is missing around 8am Eastern time.
That said, the ache will never be enough to get me to log back into #Twitter

@NJDavidD - Because I'm the curious type, and I'm procrastinating about going out today, I checked in on #AVinTheAM today.
2 replies total in the first 8 minutes after the questions were posted. I'm sure it will pick up a little as the morning goes on but....
Back to thinking about what could be next.

CW: Rant - bad timing
Worst weeks to get work projects moving:
Week of Thanksgiving
Weeks before, during, and after industry shows
Week of Independence Day if it falls on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday
Two weeks around Christmas and New Year'sLabor day and Memorial day can also be tricky but usually aren't as bad.
These weeks will always fall at the worst possible time for your project.

CW: Rant about Twitter
With the #Infocomm23 convention this week, some #avtweeps are defaulting back to using Twitter as a home base for direct group messaging between folx from different countries and areas. I get why. It's worked in the past and, honestly, the group DM was a powerful tool when linked to a functioning social media site.
I'm sorry but I just don't get why anyone, many who consider themselves an "ally", still use Twitter for any reason. It's not about your politics. It's about human rights and the safety of the people you claim to be friends of.
Twitter is not a safe space for #LGBTQ peeps. If you want to reach us, don't force us to log back into the trainwreck that is Twitter in 2023.

I wish the #avtweeps had decided as a whole to leave Twitter and join Mastodon. #Infocomm23 is next week and it would be easier to connect with those who will be there.
Now, I have some on WhatsApp, some on LinkedIn, and some on Instagram.
I truly hate Musk and the tech bros.

#AVinTheAM Questions of the week.
Feel free to chime in. Questions this week come from a higher Ed perspective.

@jacobyaudio Nothing too crazy just yet. Software flying out the door half-baked is my biggest issue right now. Second to that is the lack of certain scheduling panels. I'm pushing my customers to move to third party scheduling providers so you can use whatever panel you like, have a seamless visual experience. #avintheam #avtweeps #avmastodon #avmsp

@jacobyaudio Oh hi! You're here on Mastodon!
I'm a big planning person - getting pre-planning done, ground rules set, comms methods set - those are key to a successful project.
All for change orders - they're a great way to track decisions made along the way. I will do a $0 change order just so we know it's an approved change. #AVintheAM #avtweeps #avmastodon #avmsp

#PMvEng asks Q6: #JacobyRule - How much of your #personalbrand comes into play in your project process? Does it lead to unconscious bias or have u been viewed w/bias because of your public persona? What do u do to improve yourself as an individual?
Note: The #JacobyRule is named after me because I used to cheer when extra questions were posted!!
-
#PMvEng asks Q5: How do you manage multiple projects with different project members? Do you prefer having the same team for every project? Do you have a #Diverse project team? Are your teams built for #accessibility
-
#PMvEng asks Q4: How do you transition from pre-sales to the project implementation team? What steps do you take from pre-sales > project award > actual install? Who’s in your kickoff meetings? Do you have a communication plan or RACI?
-
#PMvEng asks Q3: What is the ideal project team? Do you feel that engineers should work together on projects or is one engineer enough? Utilize Project Coordinators? What is that role? How do u mentor new employees when AV is still based on hrs sold?
-
#PMvEng asks Q2: NO NAMES! Tell us your craziest supply chain story? How did the chaos impact your project? What is your organization doing to address/mitigate this risk? Is it seen as just a Biz issue or are tech teams being educated & included?
-
#PMvEng asks Q1: In your project process, what phase do you spend the most time on and why? Would you do things differently? Let's be honest, are Change Orders part of your project planning process? What are the Pros/Cons of Change Orders?

And we're off!
Welcome to #AVinTheAM - A weekly Sunday chat about the audio-visual industry. What started as a small, Sunday conversation on the bird site has become a weekly phenomenon that generates nearly 6 million views!
I'm bringing it this week directly to the Fediverse.
Please feel free to join in!
-
So, tomorrow morning I'm going to be posting some questions about project management and engineering.
I would love to have you join in the conversation.
-
If you're just jumping over from the bird site, make sure to use hashtags. It's one of the easiest ways to find topics on here.
-
For those who follow #avtweeps (Audio-visual and not Aviation!) - these are this mornings topics that are all about programming.
Feel free to boost and/or reply.

I haven't been on the bird site for two weeks. Before that, I was a daily user.
What I miss: My friends. Got used to reading their updates and anticipating their replies.
What I don't miss: Everything else.
-
Placed an order for a project and received a ship date of "2050".
I really hope that was a typo.
