We take a lot of pride in the work we do at FORTÉ, and every project gives us an opportunity to help our customers create spaces that work better for the people using them.

With that in mind, we’re putting the spotlight on WTTW’s Chicago Tonight studio.

FORTÉ helped modernize the longtime PBS station’s broadcast environment, transforming a 30-year-old studio into a more flexible, immersive production space. The project brought together updated control-room technology, robotic cameras, physical scenery, and virtual elements to give the production team more creative freedom and support more dynamic storytelling.

It’s a great example of how thoughtful technology integration can help evolve a space while keeping the audience experience at the center of the design.

What could the next generation of your workplace actually look like?

From immersive experience centers and executive broadcast studios to video walls, high-impact boardrooms, and XR environments, AV technology is creating new ways for teams to communicate, collaborate, share information, and create more engaging experiences across the workplace.

The opportunity goes beyond simply adding new technology. It’s about creating spaces that are more connected, more flexible, and better aligned with how people actually work today.

We pulled together five ways organizations are using AV to transform the modern workplace, and where those investments can have the biggest impact.

Continuous learning is a big part of how we keep moving forward at FORTÉ.

Last week, we hosted Feed Your Mind at our headquarters in Minneapolis, giving our team the opportunity to learn directly from our technology partners, ask questions, and stay up to date on the latest solutions and capabilities shaping our industry.

Sessions like these help our teams deepen their knowledge, better understand the technologies we work with, and bring stronger ideas and recommendations to the customers we support.

A big thank you to our partners who continue to share their expertise and help our teams stay informed, curious, and ready for what’s next.

Here in the U.S., employee ownership is more than a business model; it’s an opportunity to give employees a real stake in the future they help build.

Our own Brittney Antonelli, Chris Mounts, Hannah Berkebile, and Alan Harper recently joined employee-owners from other organizations on Capitol Hill for ESCA’s Lobby Day, where they had the opportunity to meet with Rep. John Moolenaar and discuss the value of employee ownership.

We’re especially grateful for Alan’s continued involvement in our employee ownership efforts. He’s an active member of our committee and regularly represents FORTÉ at local conferences in his home state of Wisconsin.

We’re proud to have Brittney, Chris, Hannah, and Alan representing FORTÉ and share how employee ownership supports long-term financial security, stronger bus

Would your mission-critical AV hold up when it matters most?

In mission-critical environments (think command and control rooms or ops centers), reliability depends on much more than individual pieces of equipment. The strongest environments bring together resilient system design, enterprise-grade technology, real-time visualization, intuitive controls, proactive monitoring, and system management - all working as one connected ecosystem.

FORTÉ’s Mission-Critical AV Readiness Guide breaks down six areas organizations should be evaluating to help keep teams connected, information moving, and technology performing when it matters most.
