As outdoor technology continues to remain as hot as the country’s August heat wave, CEDIA Expo announces the return of Destination Outdoors, highlighting the latest AV technology from Coastal Source, Draper and Just Video Walls outside the Colorado Convention Center.
Coastal Source, a manufacturer of outdoor audio and lighting systems, has partnered with Draper, a manufacturer of residential window shades and audiovisual equipment, and Just Video Walls, a maker of dvLED video walls, digital signage, video processors and digital video content, to host Destination Outdoors at CEDIA Expo 2023, being held Sept. 7-9 in Denver.
Destination Outdoors is a 24,000-square-foot area that provides attendees a first-hand look at what is possible for outdoor spaces. Coastal Source, Draper, and Just Video Walls will showcase their product lines designed to withstand harsh, year-round outdoor environments.
The outdoor pavilion will offer grassy areas, patio furniture, lawn games, outdoor seating and canopy tents while displaying and demonstrating the latest solutions from the partnering exhibitors.
“We’re thrilled to host Destination Outdoors again. At Coastal Source, we believe that outdoor spaces deserve the same level of attention and care as indoor spaces, and Destination Outdoors is a unique way to experience our outdoor lighting and audio solutions in a natural environment,” says Jon Bowman, vice president of operations for Coastal Source.

“This year, not only are we demonstrating some of our innovative new audio products, we’ve created an immersive outdoor lighting showcase, revealing the endless potential of this category.” Last year, Coastal teamed with Seura on a similar ‘Destination Backyard’ pavilion at CEDIA Expo 2022 in Dallas.
Destination Outdoors Offers CE Pros Creative Ideas for Exterior Spaces
Draper makes thousands of custom shades daily and has aimed its growing Draper At Home line at the CI market. They also make projection screens, AV lifts, and AV mounts and structures, and at CEDIA Expo 2023, Draper will illustrate how shading solutions can transform outdoor areas into comfortable living spaces.
“We’re excited to be part of this year’s Destination Outdoors. It’s a great opportunity to showcase our overall custom capacity to deliver a wide range of products that impact outdoor living comfort,” says Clint Childress, director of residential Markets for Draper.
“We also have partnerships with innovative European designers to bring even more options to the table and we’ll also be sharing some of those unique solutions.”
Just Video Walls will feature a variety of microLED displays, including their Spec Series, an out-of-the-box, preconfigured display, and their custom series – a custom canvas designed to fit the unique needs of an outdoor entertainment space.
“We believe strongly in microLED, and further, the creative potential it offers integrators,” says Ryan Lampel, chief operating officer and founder for Just Video Walls. “However, we understand that integrators also need a way into the category without disrupting their business. We believe our suite of tools and channel-centric approach do just that.”
Destination Outdoors will be located adjacent to the Colorado Convention Center, at 1417 California Street. Attendees can bring their CEDIA Expo or Commercial Integrator Expo badge for entry.
