HIVE Launches HIVE Academy to Support Growing Global User CommunityHIVE has announced the launch of HIVE Academy, a new training and certification program designed to support users of its media server platform and help teams get the most from HIVE -- from initial setup through to advanced workflows and large-scale deployments. Built around real-world use, HIVE Academy provides a structured pathway for operators, designers, engineers, and integrators working across live events, touring and immersive environments. The program combines hands-on training with formal certification, giving users a clear framework to build skills, validate their knowledge and deliver projects with confidence. The launch formalizes a training approach already delivered globally across projects and partner sessions, bringing it together into an official syllabus with defined modules, certification and a consistent standard. "Training has always been part of what we do, but until now it's been quite organic," says Nigel Sadler, chief pollinator at HIVE. "HIVE Academy is about formalizing that -- giving people a structured path to follow, a recognized certification and a clear standard we can measure against. It gives users confidence in their own skills, and it gives customers confidence in the people delivering their projects." The program is built around three core modules, covering software fundamentals, advanced features and integration best practices. Together, they take users from understanding the HIVE ecosystem through to deploying complex media server workflows in real-world environments, the company says. HIVE Academy is delivered either in-person or remotely, to make it easier for teams to access training wherever they are, alongside an always-on Knowledge Base for ongoing guidance and troubleshooting. Certification is awarded to participants who complete the program and demonstrate applied understanding, helping to establish a recognized standard across the HIVE ecosystem. As adoption grows, the Academy also plays a key role in building a stronger global community of certified users, partners and integrators. With initial training sessions set to roll out across key regions, HIVE Academy will continue to evolve alongside the platform, ensuring users have the tools, knowledge and support to deliver increasingly ambitious projects, the company says.

InfoComm 2026 will take place June 13-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
