Why Integrators Should Take Note
According to Jason McGraw, Group Vice President and Show Director of CEDIA Expo, the depth and breadth of innovation being showcased first at CEDIA Expo 2026 underscore the vitality of the custom integration industry in North America, especially as new market entrants from overseas vie for standing in the market.
Additionally, new market entrants in the microLED display space have begun to highlight the popularity and potential of the category, with DreamWall and Spain-based ZION being two new brands debuting at CEDIA Expo 2026.
