Dave Haynes knows the ins and outs of the AV industry, specifically the digital signage sector. As the founder and long-time editor and writer of Sixteen:Nine, one of the most important video tech news blogs, he has seen everything.

Obviously, that makes him someone you always see at ISE. That's why our host Rebekka nailed him down to talk about everything Integrated Systems Europe.

What are the highlights? What are the lows? What makes Dave's BS radar go crazy? And which beverage has healing powers against sore throats? All that and more is answered in the latest episode of LANG Story Short.

In less than one week, the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) takes place in Barcelona. We at LANG have been planning and preparing for months. And we can't wait to get it started!

To really grasp the anticipation of the biggest AV trade fair of the year, we asked several LANG people for their thoughts right before ISE.

Thanks to Rebekka, Pablo, Svenja as well as our LANG IBERIA colleagues Eva, Pol, Emma, and Martin for your insights! We are just as excited for ISE 2026 as you are!

Officially, the LANG ACADEMY started in 2010 and was the manifestation of an important LANG pillar: sharing ideas and knowledge should be accessible, easy, and with trusted teachers.

Sven Wohlgemuth is one of those trainers and knows exactly why the trainings in our ACADEMY are so valuable.

Of course it's about factors like the officially CTS certification by AVIXA that most of the trainers obtain. But it's also about the passion in the matter and building the network in the AV world with shared expertise.

What is the LANG ACADEMY and who can benefit from it? Find out in the new episode of LANG Story Short!

2025 is almost done! A perfect time for our three hosts to sit together, talk about the past year and have a little fun while they're at it.

A lot has happened in the past twelve months – not only did the LANG AG podcast go international, there were loads of new developments in the AV world.

AI, ISE, COB, AURA – plenty of abbreviations and names to think back to. Speaking of which: are Rebekka, Dani and Anton able to remember what they talked about and who they talked to? Find out by listening to the New Year's Edition of LANG Story Short!

Anyone who's involved in the AV business is probably quite familiar with Tobias Lang: not only is he CEO of European AV tech dealer LANG AG, he is also heavily involved with AVIXA.

After ten years of work for the association, Tobias is now appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors at the worldwide operating group. And with a position like that comes responsibility.

Our host Anton talks with Tobias about this responsibility, but also about the potential the AV community shows on a daily basis. The industry has been in Tobias' life since he was a child – and it continues to impress and fascinate him.

LANG UK was founded in 2017 as one of the first sister companies within the LANG family. Today, the company operates across the entire British AV market.

What’s the secret behind its smooth sailing? John Hooker and Anika Lauth, Managing Directors of LANG UK and our guests in this episode, agree: it’s the combination of many different factors that makes LANG UK what it is.

Our host Rebekka talks to Anika and John to find out why face-to-face events will never disappear, what truly matters in modern leadership – and where you might get food worth crying for.

All that and much more in the new episode of LANG Story Short – tune in now!

Can artificial intelligence replace game show hosts now?

We don't think that AI has come that far yet. But there are a lot of processes that can be streamlined with modern AI helpers.

In our latest episode, Rebekka is interested in the process of AI use in the AV world. And her guest Ingo Kligge is there to give her the answers.

How can you work better with AI? What are agents? And what are the consequences for us as the human factor? The answers are in our latest episode of LANG Story Short – tune in now!

It’s something you see more and more: new buildings and spaces that not only look modern but also integrate cutting-edge AV technology.

Yet when it comes to planning such setups, there’s still a gap between system integrators and architects — two worlds that often don’t fully understand each other.

In this episode, our host Anton brings both sides together:

With Micha Neubert, leading construction manager at LANG AG, and Michael Zgoll, CEO of integration specialists zgoll, he explores how architecture and AV can truly come together — and how far that convergence has already come.
