We all spend a lot of time in meetings—wasted time. Here’s one meeting that you won’t mind scheduling, though; it could save you a lot of time and money.

AVI-SPL and AMX are teaming up to present a free one-hour webinar to tackle the topic of meeting room control and automation. “Innovations in Meeting Room Control and Automation” will start at 1:00 p.m. (EST) on Wednesday, April 11, 2012.

According to the companies, both corporate executives and managers spend 70 to 80 percent of their time in meetings. A lot of that time is wasted, due to tech failures. If that’s not shocking enough, the companies are quoting studies that say IT support techs spend 40 minutes of every day dealing with those meeting room tech issues. All of those delays result in wasted time and money.

During the free webinar, AMX’s Shaun Robinson will discuss meeting room AV and electronics control. The end result boasts reduced energy consumption and increased productivity. Expect the webinar to cover innovations in meeting room control, streamling meeting room control, and the AMX Enova all-in-one presentation switcher.
