CEDIA Expo, a residential technology integration trade event, has announced the return of The Launchpad, a platform dedicated to showcasing new-to-market brands and the latest residential technology solutions, at CEDIA Expo 2024.

At CEDIA Expo 2024 attendees will have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the future of residential technology by exploring the latest advancements and innovations from a new generation of industry trailblazers.

“The Launchpad offers an invaluable platform for visitors to engage directly with the founders of these pioneering companies, providing insights into their cutting-edge solutions and the inspiration behind their innovations,” says Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald. “It’s a chance to be among the first to experience transformative new products and solutions that are set to expand the landscape of the custom installation industry.”

The Launchpad will spotlight brands that have been in business for less than three years and have never exhibited at CEDIA Expo in the past. This platform offers emerging companies a unique opportunity to introduce their brands and groundbreaking technologies to a diverse audience of industry professionals and influencers.
