Description

What if the future of hospitality starts with better spaces?

In this episode of Check-In with Bryan, Bryan Fish sits down with Jeff Emmons, CEO of Immedia, to talk about how NextSpace became more than a showroom — it became an immersive experience center where clients can see, touch, test, and understand technology before making major investments.

Jeff breaks down how Immedia built a multi-million-dollar ecosystem around AV integration, workplace technology, smart meeting rooms, event rentals, hospitality tech, and podcast production — and why physical experience still matters in a digital world.

Bryan and Jeff also dig into what hotels can learn from this model, including built-in AV, smarter meeting spaces, guestroom automation, occupancy sensors, leak detection, energy savings, ROI, and the operational value of better data.

In this episode:

• How NextSpace became a sales and experience engine
• Why clients need to experience technology before buying it
• How built-in AV can improve hotel meeting spaces
• Why smart guestrooms can reduce costs and improve operations
• The ROI behind occupancy sensors, leak detection, and automation
• How podcast studios and content spaces are becoming business assets
• Why hospitality needs better technology infrastructure
