As the AV and technology industry continues to push toward smarter environments, AI-driven systems, and connected experiences, an important question remains: are these technologies truly sustainable?
This session explores the hidden environmental and operational realities behind modern AV and digital infrastructure — from energy consumption and hardware refresh cycles to e-waste, procurement behavior, and the growing gap between sustainability goals and business reality.
Rather than focusing on sustainability as a marketing narrative, this session aims to encourage a more honest and practical conversation about how we design, deploy, manage, and evaluate technology systems in a way that is operationally, economically, and environmentally sustainable.
