An Interview with a Leader Committed to Diversity, Community, and Sustainability ClearTech was a very different company when CTO Joe Perez signed on in 2013. It had far fewer clients than it does today – and just two full-time employees. But when founder Christina De Bono asked Joe to help realize her vision for the company she wanted to build, he didn’t hesitate. “Our visions overlapped 100%,” says Joe. “Christina wanted ClearTech to be a different kind of AV integrator, one that could be a real partner to those it served and establish life-long relationships with them. Both of us had been in ..read more

Christina De Bono and Joe Perez introduce SAVe, Sustainability in AV, to ISE 2023 in Barcelona. In June, 2022, when SAVe, Sustainability in AV, was formally launched at InfoComm in Las Vegas, little did we suspect that mere months later we would be presenting on a global stage at ISE 2023 in Barcelona. But that’s the power of an idea whose time has come (or, in our industry’s case, an idea that’s long overdue). Thanks to generous support from ISE, which has designated SAVe as its official Sustainability Partner, along with event sponsors QSC, Legrand AV and Salamander Designs, SAVe was able to ..read more

Every once in a while, we discover a product line that’s so in tune with what the market needs that we get genuinely excited about it. That’s the case for the Stem Ecosystem, Shure’s versatile, cost-effective and highly effective solution for collaboration spaces of various sizes, configurations and use cases. Oh, and did we mention that Stem is in stock? When we were at InfoComm – North America’s largest pro-AV trade show – this past June, supply chain issues were on everyone’s mind. But attendees were just as focused on the need for solutions that truly meet their customers’ needs – solutio ..read more

A portion of ClearTech’s new service area. As diverse as our clients are, this year they’re reporting remarkably similar experiences: The workplace and educational landscapes are transforming before their eyes; change is the only constant; and labor shortages and supply-chain issues are preventing them from making progress as rapidly as they’d like. They’re eager to move forward and are frustrated by the forces holding them back. In the face of these pressures (which we’re feeling as well), ClearTech is determined to be a catalyst for our clients’ progress rather than another impediment.  ..read more

Talking about sustainability in AV with just the right audience The AV sector produces a lot of e-waste, but it does not produce a lot of sustainable solutions, with the exception of recycling, which is occasionally useless because it actually transfers the problem to others; this is a critical situation that we can’t ignore anymore. In this episode, Debbie Williamson from Tempest Technologies LLC and Christina DeBono, president of ClearTech, talk about sustainability in AV and the organization SAVe, which strives to meet the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a number of initia ..read more
