FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Original Syndicate Sponsors TEACHx 2026, Strengthening Focus on Higher Education
LOS ANGELES, CA – May 8 2026 – Original Syndicate (OGS), the creative technology firm that designs, integrates, and operates communications infrastructure for some of the world’s most demanding organizations, today announced its sponsorship of TEACHx 2026, taking place May 13-14 at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, and online.
As part of its support, OGS is helping fund accessibility services for hearing-impaired attendees, alongside contributing to the wider delivery of the event, which celebrates innovation in teaching and learning.
The sponsorship reflects a growing focus for OGS on higher education as a key environment for testing and evolving modern AV and communications systems. Universities are increasingly operating complex, hybrid learning environments, combining in-room teaching with remote participation, recorded content and emerging technologies such as immersive and AI-supported learning. These environments demand reliable, well-integrated infrastructure that supports both faculty and students without adding complexity.
OGS is using TEACHx as an opportunity to engage directly with educators and technology leaders working at the forefront of this shift.
“Higher education is pushing the boundaries of what AV and communications systems need to deliver,” said Ben C. Roth, Founder and CEO of Original Syndicate. “From hybrid teaching to accessibility-first design, these are real-world challenges that require systems to be flexible, intuitive and dependable. It’s a space where performance really matters.”
OGS works across the design, integration and operation of communications systems, with a focus on delivering environments where technology supports the user experience rather than getting in the way.
At TEACHx, the company will be connecting with faculty, IT leaders and learning specialists to better understand how institutions are adapting their teaching models, and how infrastructure needs to evolve alongside them.
The sponsorship marks the start of a broader push by OGS into the higher education sector, with plans to expand its engagement through research, partnerships and future deployments.
