4 CEDIA Exhibitors You May Not Know About
It costs money to get there. It costs manpower to spend time there. And it undoubtedly costs an arm and a leg for a slice of pizza.
The bottom line for CE pros is that they need to make CEDIA Expo worth their while.
As with all tradeshows, what attendees get out of CEDIA Expo is directly proportional to what they put into it. The first step toward maximizing return on investment (ROI) is a good game plan.
Obviously, CE pros will want to visit their tried-and-true vendors on the CEDIA Expo show floor. They’ll be short-changing themselves, however, if they don’t try to make some new connections. The problem is that there aren’t enough show floor hours to visit all the unfamiliar &mdash usually smaller — booths. That’s where this guide comes into play.
We’ve randomly selected four companies that could be hidden gems at CEDIA Expo. Each has a unique reason why it might be worth CE pros’ time to swing by and see what they have to say. After reading the following few pages, you can decide if these “hidden gems” are worth adding to your CEDIA Expo game plan.
We hope you get some ROI.

@ Dave Stevens
The reason why you’re too poor to attend CEDIA this year is because you’re like the rest of the Booger Eating installers…You think you know everything. The fact is nobody knows everything in this business.
The rest of us will be there to learn more and hopefully add new product lines to take even more business away from you!
PS-I do like your grammar…Loser
Boys, boys. I will be yodeling daily at the EH Publishing booth, 1:00 to 1:03.
@ Bob79,
The reason why I have survived and thrived for over 20 years is because I know when not to waste money.
I have never claimed to know everything in this business… just been around the block more than a few times after 33 years.
However, I’m always willing to watch & learn. Thus, if Julie is going to be yodeling on a daily basis, and if you’re willing to show us all how to properly eat boogers, that is truly worth the price of admission.
I know its off topic but I really do want to see Julie yodel!
And I do like the idea that you randomly selected a few businesses to highlight who would likely never received any exposure. The show has gotten so large that many of the smaller gem businesses have been overshadowed by the big boys. Kudos Julie!
Julie,
I’ve always loved your sense of humor, but this one is priceless…
You’re right… I can’t wait to go to Cedia so I can learn how to develop a targeted mailing list to let perspective clients know that we now are integrating CinemaScope screens into Sonarguard pool security systems and then have the advantage of also reaching more people through Yodel web marketing services.
Give me a break… no one’s going Julie until the price of a slice of pizza comes down.
