Jordan O'BrienThose wishing to save money on their tickets to CEDIA 2017 have until today to register. The custom installation association has announced that those wishing to attend will have to register by 5pm PDT on Friday, July 14 in order to save 25% on their registration and training.
CEDIA 2017 is set to take place in California on September 5 – 9 at the San Diego Convention Centre. At the show visitors will gain access to more than 500 exhibitors and a whole host of training opportunities to boost their career opportunities.
While the CEDIA Expo has been a staple of the custom installation industry, the association recently sold the show in order to invest heavily in other areas. This includes expanding CEDIA’s educational programme, and could see more opportunities for installers to learn new skills and hone existing ones.
At the time of the sale, CEDIA’s former CEO, Vin Bruno, noted that the association would continue to be heavily involved in the show, despite the sale. In a statement, Vin noted: “I wanted to take a moment to assure you that CEDIA will continue to be deeply involved with the show, working hand-in-hand with Emerald on show features and direction, and CEDIA will retain complete control and ownership of all educational programming.
“The CEDIA show will continue to be our industry’s premier trade event and CEDIA members will see the same benefits: Specifically, members will enjoy complimentary access to the show floor, special savings on all education and training, and preferential access to hotel blocks based on join date.”
Those wishing to attend CEDIA 2017 can register for tickets on the show’s website, where the early bird discount is valid until 5pm today. Attendees can also pick up the training pass, which is currently available to CEDIA members for $413, and non-CEDIA members for $825. After today, those prices are set to sky rocket to $550 for members and $1100 for non-members.
