Building a Culture of Connection in the Hybrid Workplace With Crestron

Crestron shows how Sightline, intelligent AV and AI-driven meeting room tech can make hybrid collaboration more inclusive and trusted.

In this interview, host Kieran Devlin speaks with Brad Hintze, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, and Joel Mulpeter, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Crestron, about how meeting room technology is redefining collaboration in the hybrid era. Together, they explore how intelligent AV, AI-driven systems, and thoughtful design can turn meeting spaces into seamless, human-centred environments that enhance company culture and trust.

Hybrid work may be here to stay, but creating truly inclusive collaboration experiences remains a challenge for IT and AV leaders. In this lively discussion, Crestron’s Brad Hintze and Joel Mulpeter explain how the company is helping organisations bridge that divide — making technology an enabler of culture, not a barrier.

Key highlights:

  • The “eyes and ears” of the modern meeting: How intelligent cameras and audio create more natural, equitable meeting experiences.
  • Edge vs. cloud AI: Why the best collaboration setups balance real-time responsiveness with powerful cloud-driven insight.
  • Technology as trust: Why reliability, quality, and simplicity are key to fostering confidence and credibility in hybrid teams.
  • Designing for diversity: How meeting experiences must adapt to different workflows, departments, and cultures across global offices.

Crestron’s leaders also share personal insights on how the company’s Sightline technology brings remote and in-room participants closer together — turning meetings into moments of genuine human connection.
