Quality racks don’t happen by accident - they’re built with intention, structure, and standards. In this interactive workshop, we’ll bring AVIXA F502.01 (Rack Building for AV Systems) and AQAV AV9000 rack-build standards to life through a mix of real-world photos, group discussion, and applied learning. Participants will analyze examples from the field, identify what meets (and misses) the mark, and learn how to translate standards into cleaner builds, efficient serviceability, and more consistent results across projects.

Attendees will also receive a condensed rack-build QA reference checklist to take back to their teams - a practical tool to reinforce what they learn and improve day-to-day execution.

“Anna’s rack build standards training was the opposite of your typical manufacturer session. It was engaging, fun, and filled with real-world examples from the field. She didn’t just show slides, she told the story behind each rack photo, explaining the challenges she faced, how she solved them, and why those decisions mattered. You could literally see the wheels turning for the technicians in the room as they thought about how to apply the same principles and creative problem-solving in their own work.”                                                    -- Workshop participant, October 2025
