What Else is Changing This Year?
The announcement comes following a series of updates being made to the core programming and structure of CEDIA Expo, much of which has been built off of attendee and exhibitor feedback from show’s prior.
Additional updates to the show’s upcoming 2026 outing include a revamped set of educational and thought leadership programming, as well as several “extra-curricular” updates that include new installation skill challenges and a Battle of the Bands competition that will take place as part of the opening night, post-show festivities.
