Lewis CaliburnCEDIA has introduced an industry calendar for the custom integration industry, designed to make it easy to stay informed and connected across the global smart home community. The calendar is available through CEDIA’s Membership app, now available for iOS and Android users.
The industry calendar consolidates important dates from across the industry into a single, easy-to-reference view. Members can use the calendar to stay informed about upcoming events, education opportunities and key moments throughout the year in one centralised place.
“Our members are always on the move, so the CEDIA app is the perfect companion to today’s smart home professional,” says CEDIA Global President and CEO, Daryl Friedman. “Now with the addition of the industry’s only complete calendar, we hope the app will be even more useful.”
Events are included on the calendar based on their relevance to CEDIA members and the professional smart home industry. CEDIA also welcomes suggestions from members and industry partners via an online form to ensure the calendar reflects a broad view of opportunities across the channel.
Signing up to use the CEDIA app is straightforward. Once downloaded, members can simply enter their registered CEDIA details and, upon approval, gain access to a wide range of features in an intuitive and easy-to-navigate format.
The platform includes an exclusive industry calendar, helping users stay informed with key dates and events throughout the year, available only via the CEDIA app.
The following features are available to CEDIA members only. Users can create a personalised profile that highlights their industry expertise, areas of interest, CEDIA certifications and general location.
Professional achievements can be showcased through portfolio sharing, with the ability to upload images, videos, documents and URLs to highlight standout projects and milestones.
A live feed allows members to share updates and project insights, while engaging with posts from fellow professionals in a familiar, social-style environment, while networking is further enhanced through a member directory, offering access to a searchable database of CEDIA professionals, viewable by list or map for both local and global connections.
In addition, dedicated forums enable users to take part in in-depth discussions organised by theme, share knowledge and seek advice within a members-only environment.
Users can unlock these exclusive industry resources by downloading the CEDIA app in the App Store or Google Play Store. Non-members seeking to view the industry calendar can set up a free CEDIA account.
