Earlier this year, Crestron rolled out our Modern Workplace Certification path. Now we’re releasing an online version. It was built for workplace designers, sales teams, consultants, and on-site IT and AV professionals.

The Smarter Spaces Podcast, Ep. 20

We hear a lot about “high-impact spaces” — those rooms where critically important decisions are made and vital information is shared. A great example is the New York Giants Draft Room, a place we’ve visited before. In this podcast, however, we’ll talk about the engineering that’s “under the hood” of a space that’s this important — recorded right in the room itself. We’ll also learn how one high-impact project can impact another, even in different settings and verticals — and speak to Super Bowl champ and current Giants scout Chris Snee.
