Best Of InfoComm 2026
In this special end of show episode of HETMA Presents…, Joe Way and Erin Maher-Moran close out an unforgettable InfoComm 2026 with a look back at a packed week for HETMA, Higher Ed AV, and the higher education AV community. From the Higher Ed AV Awards and a standing room only Education Summit to a buzzing booth, packed happy hours, member tours, Prism Scholar events, and the debut of HETMA Homecoming, the conversation captures just how much the organization has grown and how much the community showed up.
Ryan Gray also joins the conversation to reflect on the shift in how manufacturers now view higher ed end users, the value of real partnership between campuses and solution providers, the power of company to company connections made through HETMA, and the growing number of volunteers taking ownership across the organization. The episode closes with a look at what made InfoComm 2026 special, why HETMA’s booth experience continues to stand out, and how the next chapter will focus on bringing new members, longtime members, sponsors, and volunteers back home to the community.
