This webinar is a comprehensive guide for AV professionals, integrators, and IT stakeholders on the successful planning, deployment, and documentation of Audio-Visual over IP (AVoIP) systems. The presentation covers the fundamental concepts of AV over IP, including multicast networking, IGMP, VLANs, and Dante audio, and provides actionable strategies for project planning, stakeholder communication, and technical documentation. Through real-world scenarios, best practices, and detailed walkthroughs, attendees will learn how to ensure scalable, reliable, and future-proof AVoIP deployments that meet both current and evolving organizational needs.

• Attendees will learn how to conduct effective stakeholder communication, perform physical and network walkthroughs, and create detailed Statements of Work (SOWs) that clarify project scope, technical requirements, and customer responsibilities for seamless AV system integration.
• Learners will be able to identify key considerations for system scalability, network security, and long-term maintenance, including the use of cloud management, proper documentation of ports and speeds, and the importance of post-deployment handoff and training.
