The AV Industry Needs This Conversation Right Now

A studio build is fun, but the bigger idea is even better: we’re creating a place where the AV industry can actually talk like humans. We start with a quick walk-through of Studio One at our East Sussex head office, which will become part of a two-studio setup designed for unboxings, first looks, interviews, and reviews. It’s not finished yet, and we’re honest about that, but the direction is clear: make better, more useful content for systems integrators and AV professionals.

Then we pivot to the real reason we jumped into your feed: InsideCI.co.uk has two must-read articles from Darren at Cinema Lux and Mike at DirectlyAV. They recently travelled to Mumbai and visited an expo, meeting new people, business partners, and brands along the way. Trade shows shape what happens next in professional AV, home cinema, and custom installation, and firsthand notes like these are often more valuable than a press release because they capture what it actually felt like on the ground.

We also lay out what we want Inside CI to become: not just advertising and headline news, but a global industry platform where integrators, distributors, manufacturers, and anyone in the AV world can share stories, lessons, and lived experiences, whether they’re smooth wins or hard days. If you’ve ever read something and thought, “OK, it’s not just me,” that’s the feeling we want to create more of.

Visit insideci.co.uk, share your thoughts, and if you want to write or submit news, email hello@insideci.com, then subscribe, share, and leave a review so more industry voices find the conversation.
