Resources for Small Business in the AV and LED Screen Rental Industry

During the quarantine, the event industry has basically shut down. And while we have all this down time, one of the best things we can do is to continue to learn. In the LED wall and AV industry, technology is always changing, and new products are always coming to the market. So no matter how much you know about certain products, there is always something new to learn, or different tips and techniques you may not be aware of.

There is an almost infinite amount of knowledge out there, and no one knows it all. So there is always room to learn more. We have spent a lot of time during the shelter-in-place taking classes, watching videos, joining webinars, talking with people in the industry, and doing research online. So for anyone else in the AV, events, or LED screen industry, as well as others simply running their own small business, we have compiled some resources to keep you busy and hopefully help grow your knowledge base.
