Tennessee launches automatic college admission in 230 high schools
Tennessee is launching a first-of-its-kind college program this year that will send thousands of high school seniors automatic college admission letters along with personalized financial aid estimates. Why it matters: The "direct admissions" effort is meant to slash through the "forest of red tape" students face when navigating college searches, officials said. Participating students won't even have to apply to understand their options at dozens of participating in-state colleges. "No applications, no essays, no fees," said researcher Taylor Odle, who is evaluating the experimental program to see how it improves college enrollment. How it works: The program is in a pilot phase, and will only apply to students in about 230 randomly selected Tennessee high schools for now. Students at those schools only need to sign up for the Tennessee Promise program by Nov. 1 to participate. They'll get a letter later that month laying out their college options. During the pilot phase, about half of the direct admission letters will include personalized financial aid estimates, including merit-based scholarships students are likely to receive, as well as eligibility for Tennessee Promise, which offers students tuition-free community and technical college. Yes, but: They'll still have to file the FAFSA to secure need-based federal aid. Between the lines: During the pilot, researchers will track outcomes to see if including financial aid packages boosts enrollment numbers. They'll use their findings to shape recommendations for long-term services in Tennessee and nationwide. By the numbers: State leaders expect to send direct admission letters to 41,000 high school seniors this fall, telling them which colleges are saving a spot for them. Fifty-three in-state colleges and universities are participating. That total includes private and public universities as well as technical and community colleges. Colleges will use ACT and GPA thresholds to determine which students qualify. The big picture: Tennessee has led the effort to improve college access for years. Programs like the Tennessee Promise have inspired policies nationwide. The latest pilot program makes Tennessee the first in the nation to combine direct admissions with up-front financial aid estimates. The bottom line: Complicated applications and financial aid boondoggles can drive students away from considering college. Leaders hope that making the process more user-friendly will open up new opportunities, especially for low-income or rural students who are less likely to attend college. "This effort is really about removing barriers and shifting the conversation to make it easier for young people," said Tennessee Higher Education Commission director Steven Gentile.

InfoComm Show Grows Despite Drop in International Attendance
InfoComm 2025's share of international attendance was down 5% compared to last year. Organizers blame the drop on tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty. InfoComm, North America's largest professional audiovisual trade show, drew 30,998 verified attendees to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. While overall attendance increased 2.4% from last year's 30,271, international participation dropped from 23% to 18%, with Canada showing the steepest decline. 'There was a small but vocal group from Canada who did not attend for geopolitical reasons,' said Jenn Heinold, senior vice president of expositions, Americas, at AVIXA, which organizes the event. 'Others felt that was shortsighted, saying we're all one community.' Organizers said this year's show attracted 10% more buyers who interacted with the 817 exhibitors. The focus was on showcasing the latest AV technology, but conversations also included tariffs, supply chain volatility, and talent shortages. AVIXA opened the conference with a panel titled 'Navigating the Regulatory Horizon: Key Changes Impacting the Pro AV Industry,' moderated by Sean Wargo, vice president of market insights at AVIXA. 'There was peak uncertainty heading into spring,' Wargo said. 'With tariffs being proposed at unprecedented levels, many companies were cautious.' Both executives said that the show's June timing helped ease some tension. 'If InfoComm had taken place in April, the mood and turnout might have been very different,' Wargo said. Shifting Global Landscape Latin America emerged as a growth area as China's numbers held steady and attendance from Europe dipped slightly. 'We're seeing momentum in the region,' said Heinold. She credits targeted marketing and AVIXA's new regional event set for October as a feeder for the U.S. show. 'We've also seen exhibitors increasingly view Latin America as a key opportunity, especially in response to U.S. tariffs.' Some exhibitors opted to send leaner teams, reflecting caution amid broader economic uncertainty. 'In times like this, companies hold their marketing spend, but scale back a bit on travel,' Heinold acknowledged. 'That's why we are especially proud of our attendance growth year over year. The quality attendees, the buyers, we're up.' Wargo argued that trade shows stand to benefit from geopolitical uncertainty, with deal making especially crucial at this time. 'When uncertainty rises, trade shows become even more essential,' he said. 'They offer a space for buyers and sellers to address pricing, sourcing, and planning face to face. If you're not there, uncertainty lingers.' As InfoComm prepares for its 2026 return to Las Vegas, organizers say they're focused on adapting to shifting global dynamics while continuing to serve a rapidly evolving industry.
