Lighting remains a massive category for integrators with new opportunities opening up at any given time. With CEDIA Expo/CIX (Commercial Integrator Expo) returning to Denver, September 4-6, it makes sense, then, that central to this year’s show show is a comprehensive lighting component, featuring exhibits, education and other resources, as well as an extensive lighting pavilion.
“Lighting is central to the experience,” explains Jason McGraw, group vice president and show director of CEDIA Expo/CIX.
“Whether it’s home theater where lighting is tied to shading and displays; home automation where lighting is integrated with security and access control; resimercial where lighting and AV are interconnected in meeting rooms, bars, restaurants and retail displays and in the commercial market where lighting is a critical consideration in optimizing any guest experience, shopping experience and board-room environment. AV without consideration of lighting is akin to audio without consideration of acoustics!”

“For integrators, grasping lighting design, control, and integration is essential—not only for delivering comprehensive smart home solutions but also for expanding their business in both residential and commercial markets,” comments Paul Dolenc, M.A. vice president of education & training, CEDIA Association.
“CEDIA Expo/CIX provides our members with direct access to leading brands, new technologies, and focused education necessary to remain competitive. The lighting pavilion and accompanying sessions offer a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge, explore new solutions, and connect with industry peers and thought leaders who are advancing this segment.”
“Lutron is thrilled to see lighting take center stage at CEDIA Expo/CIX, offering integrators and designers a valuable opportunity to connect around one of our most essential needs – light,” adds Ben Bard, vice president of luxury residential, Lutron Electronics. “The rapid adoption of intelligent lighting within the CEDIA community is inspiring, and for integrators who are not yet incorporating lighting into their business, CEDIA Expo/CIX is the perfect place to start.”
