CEDIAnews.com is the single place for CEDIA show attendees to get their news and planning info.

The site generated more than 300,000 page views last year for the few months it was up (formerly talkaboutcedia.com).

“When you first told me about the site [last year], I thought it was such a great idea! Every year, regardless of planning, when we go to CEDIA it seems so chaotic that we seem to be chasing our tails the entire time. You are definitely on the right track!!!” - Brian Stoll, Midwest Home Media, Burnsvill, Minn.

Embargoes Honored
Embargoes are no problem, and they will be strictly honored, but it is imperative that you CLEARLY indicate that your news is under embargo, and when it may be released. The same applies to casual emails discussing new products. Make sure it is CLEARLY indicated that anything under discussion is under embargo.

Please Share
Here’s what we’d like from you:

• Product and News Releases
  Send these to and they will be directed to the CEDIAnews.com editors, as well as all editors of EH Publishing, including Electronic House and CE Pro magazine. We can’t guarantee they’ll be published, but we’ll do the best we can. (Want a guarantee, along with an Exhibitor Profile, a product image, and mention in the CEDIAnews email newsletter? See Advertising below.)

  If you have multiple press releases, please rank their priorities. If we only publish one, we want to make sure it’s the most important one.

• Free Featured Breaking-News Exclusives
  Do you have a really hot product you’re releasing before the Expo starts? We are offering premium placement on the CEDIAnews site for your really exciting product. The hitch: You have to give us a 12-hour head start to break the news before it is released to the blogosphere, other news outlets, and general public. Because we have a limited number of slots available, please let us know about your product (not all will qualify) and the date you would like it released. Email with EXCLUSIVE – [COMPANY] in the subject line.


• Having a Party? Free Listing
  We have the most comprehensive list of CEDIA-related parties and events on the planet – one of our most popular features last year. If you have a special event planned, whether it’s invitation-only or open to all, please send details to , with PARTY – [COMPANY] in the subject line. Don’t forget that part!


• Spread the Word, and How to Get One Freebie
  We would be grateful if you could help spread the word to your dealers about CEDIAnews.com. And we’ll even reward you for it. Just prove to us that you included a promotion for CEDIAnews.com in an email blast to your dealers, or point us to the prominent place where the CEDIAnews logo and link are featured on your Web site.

  Email your proof, your PR, and your low-resolution image to . with FREE PR – [COMPANY NAME] in the subject line. Please don’t forget the subject line or we may be delayed in filing your release. (note: We cannot honor all requests sent within two weeks of the CEDIA Expo.)
