Lewis CaliburnSystems integrators, tech managers, designers and architects serving the residential, commercial and resimercial markets are challenged to make the most of their time and resources. It’s for this reason that many look to CEDIA Expo/Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX) as the event at which to see the brands and products they’ll use on their next projects, gain the business and technology insights to guide their strategies and meet like-minded peers navigating the same business issues in their careers. The one-of-a-kind expo takes place in Denver from September 3-6 this year, and registration is now open.
“The demands of business can pull systems integrators and designers in many directions at once,” explains Jason McGraw, Group Vice President of Emerald Expositions, the owner and organizer of CEDIA Expo/CIX.
“Projects, planning and business development are the core functions of integrators and designers, so having one show where they can see everything and meet everyone is an efficient use of their time. This is why we originally co-located the CEDIA Expo/Commercial Integrator Expo, and this year, we are taking it a step further with a fully combined event featuring cohesive branding, a central website and social media platforms and a shared registration process. We’re already receiving a lot of positive feedback about the event!”
According to Jason, more than 50% of CEDIA Expo/CIX attendees have projects in commercial domains.
“Systems integration is becoming more converged by the month,” he adds. “The exhibits, education, keynotes and panels are market-informed to reflect this convergence and provide attendees with exceptionally efficient use of time!”
Reaffirming this viewpoint, Shawn Hansson, CEO & Founder, Logic Integration, says, “The CEDIA Expo/CIX Show continues to be the heartbeat of innovation in our industry. It’s where technology meets real-world application, and where leaders, integrators and visionaries come together to shape what’s next. Every year, I leave inspired and ready to raise the bar.”
Michelle Ferlauto, Chief Operating Officer, SoundVision, says that attending CEDIA Expo/CIX is a business accelerant for integrators and designers operating in the residential, commercial, and resimercial markets.
“Successful businesses run on ideas and insights and that’s exactly what designers and integrators get from CEDIA Expo/CIX. Everyone gets substantive value from attending the sessions, listening to the keynotes and panels, seeing the exhibits, and spending time with peers. It’s the one must-attend show on our calendar!”
CEDIA Expo/CIX provides systems integrators with a comprehensive business and technology experience with strong opportunities for education, collaboration and business development.
