The trade organizations CEDIA and NKBA | KBIS are inviting professional integrators to an exclusive Town Hall at CEDIA Expo 2025 as Daryl Friedman, global president & CEO of CEDIA, and Bill Darcy, global president & CEO of NKBA | KBIS, will debut and discuss brand-new joint research between the two organizations.
The CEDIA NKBA Town Hall takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. MDT, at The Colorado Convention Center’s Mile High Ballroom 1-2 during CEDIA Expo in Denver.
CEDIA and NKBA emphasize that show attendees can be the first to access key findings from the NKBA | KBIS x CEDIA research report, which the trade group state is a comprehensive study on the evolving collaboration between the smart home and design & build communities.
Highlights of the joint study include:
- What designers and builders need—and expect—from technology integration partners
- How smart home pros can better align with client demands through early collaboration
- Top barriers to adoption and how integrators can help overcome them
- Emerging trends in kitchen and bath tech—and how integrators can position their expertise
