Fluid AV Shortlisted For AV Reseller And Integrator Of The Year
Fluid AV, a leading provider of smart audio-visual integration solutions, has been named a finalist in the AV Reseller and Integrator of the Year category at the AV News Awards 2026, placing the company alongside some of the most established names in the global professional AV sector.
