Jordan O'BrienThe CEDIA Tech Summit will return to Wetherby Racecourse on June 11, following the new format’s debut at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.
In Wetherby, installers can expect a full day of education and networking opportunities, with the event focusing on four key categories; audio, video, lighting, and security. Each subject will benefit from a 45-minute training presentation.
Following an introduction from CEDIA, the first education session will be delivered by LG, who will explore the importance of choosing the correct display technologies to suit the client’s room and requirements. Rako Controls will then take an in-depth look at the technology behind dimming LED lighting, providing attendees with a good foundation of knowledge, techniques, and understanding of dimming technology. After lunch, AWE will give an overview of the IMAX Enhanced home cinema format and how to create this experience in the home, and Invision will look at the different security solutions available and how certain products can create additional revenue opportunities for the integrator.
During the day, delegates will have multiple opportunities to talk with the exhibiting sponsors face-to-face and find out more about the latest products and solutions on offer. The sponsors include Alltrade, AWE, Blustream, Control 4, Future Automation, Gallo Acoustics, Habitech, Invision UK, KEF, Kordz, Lithe Audio, LG, Lutron, Meridian Audio, My KNX Store, One AV, Pulse Cinemas, Rako Controls, and Rockfon.
