Supporting the “Road to 10K” with HETMA
As a partner organization, Higher Education Technology Managers Alliance (HETMA) will participate at cavlo as part of its growing initiative to expand the higher education AV community through the Road to 10K campaign.
Higher education technology professionals represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the Pro AV ecosystem, and cavlo’s accessible format provides an ideal environment for collaboration between higher ed technology leaders and solution providers.
“Nashville and cavlo provide an ideal setting for higher education technology professionals to connect with the broader AVL community,” said Erin Maher-Moran, MEM, CTS, Chair of HETMA. “Events like cavlo help support our Road to 10K initiative by bringing more professionals into the conversation and strengthening the network that supports higher education technology across the country.”
Expanding Opportunity Through WAVIT
Also partnering with cavlo is WAVIT (Women in AV/IT), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering, educating, and elevating women within the professional AV and IT industries.
At cavlo Tech Expo, WAVIT will exhibit and provide information about its mentorship and internship programs, designed to help cultivate the next generation of technology professionals and expand career opportunities across the Pro AV ecosystem.
“cavlo creates an environment where meaningful connections happen naturally,” said Brandy Alvarado-Miranda, Founder of WAVIT. “By participating in the event, we can introduce more people to WAVIT’s mentorship and internship initiatives while helping strengthen the talent pipeline that will support the future of the AV and IT industries.”
