The 2024 CEDIA Expo and Commercial Integrator Expo, happening September 5-7 in Denver, Colorado, are bringing a brand new experience to the show floor. The Connectivity Pavilion will focus on the latest connected device technologies in AV/IT, IoT, sensors, and networking for both residential and commercial applications.
This development comes in response to growing demand from attendees of both shows who want to learn more about integrating these technologies seamlessly into their clients’ projects.
According to Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president and show director, CEDIA Expo, Commercial Integrator Expo and KBIS, Emerald, a recent survey of CEDIA Expo attendees showed a growing desire to see and learn about AV connectivity and networking technologies.
“Addressing this demand, we are pleased to feature a new pavilion and show floor content presentation program at this September’s shows where attendees can ‘connect’ with leading technology platform alliances and manufacturers’ latest products and solutions,” McGraw says. “The pavilion will feature interactive exhibits, product demonstrations, and educational sessions. Attendees can explore a “hub and spoke” space showcasing the interoperability and functionality of different products.
Mitch Klein, a CEDIA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, will be the Connectivity Pavilion’s project manager.
