And, as always, I do a bit of housekeeping.

Survey: Avalon Training Needs

Avalon is seeking your input to help us create Avalon Media System specific training.

 

You can tell us what areas would be of the most use for your team when it comes to training, and what works best for you in terms of delivery.  

 

Just fill out this brief survey to give us some ideas.  The survey should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete, and if you have additional ideas for what we could offer, we're all ears.
