Universal AV
On 12 March, Universal AV hosted its yearly Connex event in the UK to bring the pro-AV community together to explore how changing workplace demands are influencing the design and performance of modern environments.

The theme this year was The Modern Workspace Designed to Connect, examining how organisations are reshaping their spaces to support collaboration, flexibility and user experience.

Across the exhibition floor, Universal AV and its partners demonstrated how AV technology plays a central role in workplace performance, enabling seamless interaction between in room and remote participants while maintaining a consistent and intuitive user experience.

Universal AV curated a line up of global manufacturers and specialist partners, each selected for their ability to address real world challenges across corporate, education and public sector environments. Demonstrations focused on collaboration platforms, high performance displays, integrated audio and flexible meeting environments, all shown in practical, real-world contexts.

Alongside the exhibition, Universal AV delivered a programme of seminars designed to provide insight into the future of the AV industry. Sessions explored topics including architectural audio and its role in shaping modern environments, reinforcing the importance of aligning technology with design intent and user experience.
