Checking in with SAVe at InfoComm 2026

So the HEPA community is very familiar with SAVE now.

I love the intertwinedness.

So first, catch us up a little.

What's been going on in the world of SAVE since ISE in the last couple of months?

Some really exciting new developments.

We actually now have formally launched our SAVE Sustainable Manufacture Council.

We've gone through strategic planning and we'll be officially announcing the strategic plan in the coming month.

We have some notable individuals who are part of our council, including Wendy Feldstein, who is our co-chair, a senior VP of product development for Crestron and Althea Ricketts, who's the chief transformation officer for sure.

We also have Joyce Quan from Sony, who's involved with our Sustainable Manufacturing Council.

So a lot of us developed there.

Most recently, we have an industry veteran.

His name is Tom Peters.

He has been in our industry for over 40 years now.

And he is going to be our chair of the Save a Second Life Committee and Initiative, which is a very significant initiative of SAVE.

So anyway, those are the things.

But the most significant event that's coming up is the SAVE Global Conference.

It's our third SAVE Global Conference event.

That's going to be taking place once again at UCLA in Los Angeles.

Joe Way is our emcee and host.

I'm

sorry about that.

It's going to be October 13th and 14th, and we have an incredible lineup of keynote presentations, workshops, and breakout panel discussions.

Mike Blackman, managing director of ISC, is going to be delivering our keynote speech.

on how sustainability is creating innovation in our industry.

And then we have two preeminent, globally recognized scientific experts in the fields of electronic waste and sustaining critical materials who will also be keynote speakers, which is very, very pertinent to our industry.
