CEDIA Expo, a global trade event that focuses on custom installed residential technologies, has announced the return of the Design + Connections Tour series, which will unite technology integrators with design professionals.
The Design + Connection Tours is scheduled to take place on September 2, 2021, and it will be led and curated by two technology integrators and will lead two groups of designer and construction professionals to select exhibitor booths. The sponsored tours will create mutually beneficial relationships between design and construction professionals and integrators as well as provide an efficient way to learn about the newest smart product innovations.
Between the two tours there will be a complimentary lunch for all participants where KBB executive editor, Chelsie Butler will host a brief Q&A between design and construction pros and technology integrators.
“The Design + Connection Tour will create a learning opportunity for designers, builders, and architects to gather knowledge from integrators, the connected technology experts,” states Jason McGraw, Group Vice President, CEDIA Expo and KBIS.
”Integrator, designer, and builder relationships are vital in order to achieve the modern customer’s goals—a beautifully designed and constructed space with seamless connected technology integration.”
