Jordan O'BrienCEDIA is on a mission to boost the profile of the home tech market, and its latest initiative involves partnering with 100% Design, a trade show for architects and designers.
Taking place at London’s Olympia between September 19 and 22, 100% Design is the destination for architects and designers to discover interior design trends and emerging talent during London Design Festival. With more of the construction trade visiting the show each year and the UK experiencing a building boom, 100% Build London launches this year. Featuring the latest construction materials, innovative glazing technology, exterior surfaces, and integrated automation technology, 100% Build London is the only event to bring together construction, high-end architecture, and interior design.
As part of its partnership with 100% Design, CEDIA will be exhibiting on the show floor (D9) for the four days, while it’ll also take over 100% Build London’s CPD Hub for the second day, providing a series of CPD training sessions to visitors between 12pm and 6pm.
Covering every aspect of designing a future-ready home, the programme will help to clarify smart home technology in order to help designers further enrich the quality of projects and simplify the design and technology process. This platform will allow CEDIA to build awareness and create demand for CEDIA members’ services with architects, builders, and designers. The CPD hub is open to all visitors, with BIID and RIBA members receiving CPD points to further their professional development.
