From the same classrooms and support tickets to the same mysterious $7 HDMI cable failures, the panel reflects on why our work so often feels stuck on repeat, even as we insist \u201cthis time it\u2019ll be different.\u201d With their usual mix of sarcasm, experience, and self-awareness, they review the projects, services, and processes that keep coming back year after year\u2026 sometimes for good reasons, sometimes because no one ever really fixes the root problem. It\u2019s a funny, honest look at institutional memory, consultant d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, and the strange comfort of knowing that no matter what changes, some AV challenges are forever.
