As a platinum partner, Nureva says it can more broadly introduce its audio conferencing systems that deliver the simplicity and value essential for larger classrooms. Per a statement, the company’s products are increasingly chosen by prestigious higher education institutions throughout the United States. These include Harvard Medical School, Georgetown University, Penn State University, The University of Arizona, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of California, Berkeley.

Support for Higher Education

Powered by revolutionary Microphone Mist technology, Nureva adds that its audio systems offer adaptability for both HyFlex and hybrid learning environments, without the cost and complexity of a traditional system. Here, thousands of virtual microphones fill larger classrooms and meeting rooms to pick up voices in every inch of the space, and in-room voice amplification means students will hear clearly — whether they’re in the classroom or participating remotely.

According to Nureva, its products incorporate many features specifically designed to address the needs of higher education technology managers. For instance, it includes autocalibration, which means IT teams can be assured that when rooms are rearranged to accommodate various classes, the audio simply adjusts. Nureva’s camera zones feature for the HDL410 system also keeps hybrid classes engaging by using sound location data to enable automated multi-camera switching in larger classrooms without any additional software or specialized technical expertise.

The company states that visitors to InfoComm 2024 can learn more about Nureva’s technology and full product offering at Nureva’s booth (C5664). Additionally, Nureva is a sponsor of the HETMA Higher Education Summit on June 10 and 11, taking place in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“Our collaboration with HETMA marks a pivotal step in our commitment to empowering higher education technology managers and the community as a whole,” says Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s CEO. “We are excited to support HETMA in its search for products that simplify how IT managers equip their larger classrooms and meeting spaces with the audio performance needed to effectively support remote learning and collaboration.”

HETMA, an acronym for Higher Education Technology Managers Alliance, raises awareness of technology issues unique to the higher-education community. HETMA achieves this goal by working with manufacturers such as Xilica, as well as higher-education administrators, to address the challenges that technology managers face.

As a Gold Partner, HETMA will recognize Xilica as an accelerator of technology development and adoption within the higher-education vertical through several initiatives. Xilica will support independent, peer-reviewed product decisions through the HETMA Approved Program, which enables institutions to rapidly adopt new technologies that have already passed through education-specific evaluations. Xilica will also contribute subject matter experts to in-person and virtual HETMA conferences and events, and be an advocate for special HETMA initiatives. The latter includes the Prism Scholarship, which is dedicated to representing diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education.

“Xilica has placed a strong emphasis on developing partnerships and technologies that better serve modern-learning spaces and higher-education institutions, such as bringing hybrid-learning solutions to market that enable collaborative equality for all students,” says Shaun Robinson, VP product, Xilica. “We are proud to associate ourselves with an organization such as HETMA whose pure focus is to empower the higher-education community through an abundance of free resources, networking opportunities and great relationships.”

The former is the new exposition and conference for the commercial audiovisual-integration channel and technology managers; while the latter is an advocacy organization focused on the higher education AV industry.

As a result, Commercial Integrator Expo 2023 will feature educational opportunities, market insights, subject matter experts and networking addressing the needs of higher-education technology managers and their institutions.

Addressing Higher-Education Vertical Needs

Per a statement, audiovisual technology in the higher-education vertical accounts for over $27B in annual spend. HETMA’s mission is to thus raise awareness of audiovisual-technology issues unique to the higher-education community. It will do so by communicating with manufacturers, vendors and higher-education administrators on the needs and challenges that technology managers face.

To this end, HETMA partners with members, manufacturers and key organizations to provide education, networking and advocacy to continue accelerating audiovisual technology in higher education. HETMA also works to provide educational and networking opportunities to members and, as a result, can empower and grow an influence as an industry. HETMA’s partnership with Commercial Integrator Expo will thus offer the opportunity to support the industry through education, insights and networking.

“Over the past three years, higher education saw the single largest operational upheaval accelerating the demand for leading edge audiovisual communications systems and solutions,” says Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president and show director for Emerald. “We are pleased to partner with the Higher Education Technology Managers Alliance in supporting the content program for our show launch. HETMA is advocating for technology managers’ needs and their respective higher-education institutions within the greater audiovisual industry.”

A Mutually Beneficial Partnership

McGraw adds, “Through our partnership, HETMA will broaden Commercial Integrator Expo’s educational programming by providing a track of relevant, forward-thinking educational sessions, with subject matter experts and market insights for technology managers.”

Joe Way, PhD, CTS, co-founder and chair of HETMA remarks, “The AV industry has made a huge shift over the past few years. Technology managers in higher education now serve a key role in the industry’s overall success. Representing over $30B in annual spending in the U.S. alone means that our vertical’s professionals require strong relationships with our manufacturer partners and professional education and training specific to our needs.”

He continues, “We value relationship building, knowing that we as a vertical are successful only when we as and industry are successful. Therefore, this partnership with Commercial Integrator Expo is a natural fit; it’s a natural win-win. We look forward to bringing an educational program that enriches our community and the general AV community while also showing off our many initiatives like a HETMA Approved classroom.”

Commercial Integrator Expo 2023 will feature a track of live educational sessions centered around today’s applications of higher-education audiovisual technology. Here, HETMA will advise and drive the educational content. At the same time, it will create a social experience for people to gather and exchange best practices. Commercial Integrator Expo will also allow attendees to forge connections between peers and manufacturers. Moreover, attendees can discover new opportunities and ideas through training on new markets and emerging technology trends.

Commercial Integrator Expo 2023, co-located with CEDIA Expo 2023, will take place Sept. 6 to Sept. 9, 2023, in Denver, Colo.
