When CEDIA Expo 2024 opens its doors in Denver, Colorado on September 5, 2024, so too will Destination Outdoors–an outdoor exhibit area located directly across from the Colorado Convention Center where exhibitors will demonstrate how the same technological features we’ve come to appreciate in our interior spaces can be applied to outdoor living areas as well.

This year, the Destination Outdoors exhibitors are going to be Coastal Source a manufacturer of high-performance outdoor lighting and audio solutions, Draper At Home, a commercial and residential shade and screen manufacturer, Just Video Walls, an integrator-founded company focusing on the MicroLED category, and Access Networks, an enterprise-grade networking products and services provider.

“Together, we are thrilled to bring Destination Outdoors back to CEDIA Expo 2024 to allow our custom installation partners to check out what’s new and exciting in outdoor technology with the unique outdoor experience these four great companies are creating,” says Jeff Poggi, president, Coastal Source. “This one-of-a-kind event is designed to provide a first-hand look at what is possible for today’s outdoor spaces.”

Destination Outdoors Will Seek to Emulate Comprehensive Outdoor Living System

Covering a large 24,000-square-foot area, Destination Outdoors and its exhibitors will offer a look into all that’s possible for today’s outdoor living environments. The area will be adorned with grassy expanses, patio furnishings, outdoor seating and canopy tents to create a realistic backdrop for demonstrating the latest outdoor technologies.

“We love Destination Outdoors because it’s all about the experience. Once dealers see and experience our shading solutions for themselves, they will get a better understanding of how to provide that experience to their own customers,” comments Clint Childress, director of residential markets, Draper At Home.

While each exhibitor will be showcasing their own wares at Destination Outdoors, the goal, according to representatives from each company, is to establish a comprehensive outdoor system meant to encompass audio, video, lighting, shading, and networking, giving attendees a better understanding of how the products can interact with one another to create an outdoor entertainment space.

“We are excited to announce our return participation in Destination Outdoors at this year’s CEDIA in Denver in partnership with Draper At Home, Coastal Source, and Access Networks. Our showcase will feature a stunning 168-inch outdoor video wall in a 24:9 aspect ratio configuration, allowing for the simultaneous viewing of multiple sources or a single widescreen output,” notes Skyler Meek, vice president of marketing at Just Video Walls.

Draper At Home will be showing a mix of solutions underlining the variety of ways shading helps upgrade the outdoor living experience. Products on display will include Exterior Zip Shades, Tension Zips, conventional roller shades, and exclusive and unique products from European partners. Meanwhile, Just Video Walls will exhibit a range of MicroLED displays at CEDIA Expo 2024 tailored to suit the specific requirements of any outdoor entertainment area.

Highlighting outdoor networking at CEDIA Expo 2024 Access Networks will also showcase its portfolio of solutions for both residential and commercial environments, including the Snap One brand’s newly launched Unleashed Wi-Fi 6 Access Points with native OvrC integration. The company’s B350 outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point will be on display throughout the space as well as a part of the network operating at the event.

The Access Control team of networking experts will also be there to offer demos of products, as well as to discuss the benefits of services ranging from pre-configuration assistance to fully custom designed and managed systems.
