The 15th annual CI Expo will showcase the latest products for commercial and residential AV integrators on May 30 at the Hilton Oakland Airport.
Free for integrators, this event is hosted by local distributors and independent manufacturer representatives. The technology conference connects systems integrators with over 70 vendors in an interactive environment.
The CI Expo was created to educate and provide hands-on experience with the latest audio, video, lighting control, security, networking and automation solutions for commercial and residential applications.
“For 15 years, the CI Expo has given systems integrators direct access to manufacturers and the opportunity to get technical questions answered, see product demonstrations, and find new solutions,” says Jim Knight, president of Redwood Marketing.
Exhibitors will feature 4K and 8K video, wireless audio and video systems, high-performance projectors, digital signage, smart home devices, surveillance cameras, lighting controls, networking equipment, and more. New this year is an expanded focus on cybersecurity, with seminars and exhibits on protecting clients’ networks and smart home systems.
“With technology advancing so rapidly, integrators need events like the CI Expo to stay on the cutting edge,” adds Roz Knight, managing director at Redwood Marketing. “It gives us a chance to show them the latest and greatest gear in an interactive way, so they can determine what best fits their clients’ needs.”
Founded in 2009, the CI Expo is hosted by local distributors Profit Line Distributing, Sierra Select Distributors, Custom Electronic Supply, and rep firms Redwood Marketing, Zone Pacific, ALR, and Fielder Marketing and is endorsed by CEDIA. The CI Expo will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 30 at the Hilton Oakland Airport, One Hegenberger Road, Oakland, Calif.
Editor’s Note: The CI Expo should not be confused with the Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX), which coincides with the CEDIA Expo 2024 show in Denver, Colo., on Sept. 5-7, 2024.
