SUMMARY:Beyond Automation: Why Human Connection Matters in an AI-Driven Workforce
DESCRIPTION:AI is transforming how organizations work\, communicate\, and serve customers — but technology alone does not create trust. As automation\, AI tools\, and data-driven decision-making become part of everyday work\, the organizations that thrive will be those that combine technology with strong human judgment\, communication\, empathy\, and customer focus. This session explores how AI is changing the workforce\, where it creates opportunity\, the challenges employees and leaders face\, and what organizations can do to build AI literacy and confidence. Participants will also examine where technology should handle transactions and where human expertise remains essential to helping customers understand complexity\, make decisions\, and feel confident in the outcome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNate GardnerCEOSolutions360 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvan LandryCTO CommLink Integration Corp. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarla MarkoffManager\, HR ServicesInsperity

SUMMARY:Beyond the Logo: Building a Brand That Connects in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Presented by NSCA Member Advisory Council Member Supervox \n\n\n\nThe webinar is to help provide a framework for integrators to approach branding and marketing\, whether you handle it internally or use an outside partner. We believe this is a worthwhile exercise because all AV integrators have brands. The question is how well is your brand working for you? We’ll talk about how to ensure that the public’s perception matches your intention and we’ll discuss the promise and risks of AI as it relates to brand perception. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMike AbernathyDirector of Business ResourcesNSCA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJerry AbramsMarketing StrategistSupervox \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim SauerPartnerSupervox

SUMMARY:What If? Dr. Kuehl’s Mid-Year 2026 Economic Update for Integrators
DESCRIPTION:NSCA members know that Dr. Chris Kuehl doesn’t deal in hypotheticals. These days\, however\, it’s hard to plan anything without considering\, “what if?” \n\n\n\nIn a year defined by rapid change and uncertainty\, NSCA’s Chief Economist is taking a slightly different approach. Instead of focusing only on what is happening\, this mid-year update explores what could happen—and what it might mean for integrators trying to plan ahead. \n\n\n\nFrom global tensions and trade policy to election-year dynamics and shifting market demand\, there are multiple paths the economy could take in the second half of 2026. This webinar is designed to help you think through those possibilities and prepare for a range of outcomes. \n\n\n\nDr. Kuehl returns with an integrator–focused economic update built specifically for the NSCA Community\, offering insight through a series of “what if” scenarios\, including: \n\n\n\n\nWhat if global conflicts escalate—or stabilize? How different outcomes could impact supply chains\, pricing\, and project timelines\n\n\n\nWhat if trade and tariff policies shift? Potential implications for product availability and cost structures\n\n\n\nWhat if labor pressures ease—or intensify? How workforce dynamics may affect your ability to execute\n\n\n\nWhat if construction demand accelerates—or slows? Signals to watch across key vertical markets\n\n\n\nWhat if business and consumer confidence changes direction? What that could mean for technology investment\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to scenario-based insights\, this session will place added emphasis on audience questions and discussion\, giving NSCA members the opportunity to engage directly with Dr. Kuehl on the issues most relevant to their businesses. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this must-attend NSCA webinar. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Chris Kuehl Managing Partner & Co-FounderArmada Corporate Intelligence

SUMMARY:AI Isn’t Optional Anymore (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:AI is now baseline. Learn to compete and lead with it.\n\n\n\nArtificial intelligence is no longer a future concept for systems integrators — it’s quickly becoming the baseline expectation. Customers now assume their integration partners understand AI\, can speak to cybersecurity and governance concerns\, and can help align technology decisions with real business outcomes. \n\n\n\nIn this NSCA webinar\, industry leaders will explore how systems integrators can position themselves for success in an AI-driven market. The discussion will focus on why AI committees are becoming essential\, how integrators can collaborate more effectively with customer AI teams\, and how trust\, transparency\, and governance are shaping buying decisions across AV and security. \n\n\n\nThis conversational session will provide practical guidance on where to start\, how to engage customers more strategically\, and why having an AI strategy — even if it’s still evolving — is quickly becoming a competitive necessity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMike AbernathyDirector of Business ResourcesNSCA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill FonsPresident of AI InitiativesMidwest Regional Vice President CTI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJon RayCRO & Associate PartnerRevenueify \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuang TrinhBusiness Development Manager\,Platform Technologies (IoT & AI)Axis Communications\, Inc.
