ADI is heading to CEDIA Expo 2026 with new products, partner solutions and a broader message about how its manufactured and distributed offerings can work together across the connected home.
Ahead of the show, CE Pro Executive Editor Zachary Comeau spoke with Matt Kamp, ADI VP of Product Management, and Garrett Savage, ADI VP of Category Strategy, about what the company plans to showcase in Denver and the trends influencing its strategy.
Among the products ADI plans to highlight are enhancements to the Control4 X4 platform, new Araknis Wi-Fi 7 solutions, T5 in-wall touchscreens, new lighting products from the Control4 Vibrant line and Triad Stratus outdoor speakers. The company also plans to exhibit with supplier partners including Samsung, KEF, Klipsch, Sony and Ubiquiti.
The larger focus, according to Kamp and Savage, is demonstrating how those products fit together. ADI’s presence spans control, networking, lighting, audio, surveillance, power and remote management, with the company looking to show how its exclusive brands and distributed products can be combined into broader systems.
The conversation also explores some of the trends ADI is watching across custom integration. Savage points to greater convergence between AV and security, increased use of AI and intelligence, improved remote management and greater interoperability between products. Kamp highlights simplicity and reliability as priorities, particularly as integrators look for systems that are easier to deploy, manage and service.
Beyond products, ADI is using CEDIA Expo to emphasize the services it provides throughout the project lifecycle, including system design, technical expertise, local support, training and post-installation resources.
ADI Adds CEDIA Expo Training Sessions
Beyond products, ADI is using CEDIA Expo to emphasize the services and education it provides to integrators throughout the project lifecycle, including system design, technical expertise, local support, training and post-installation resources.
During the show, ADI will host a number of training sessions in Meeting Room 103 (MR103). Sessions will cover the latest Control4 platform updates, Wi-Fi design and troubleshooting, and Control4 lighting updates.
Kamp also points to ADI’s broader presence at the show as an opportunity for integrators to interact directly with its product, category strategy, technical and sales teams. The company will also hold its annual customer party, which is invitation-only.
For Kamp and Savage, CEDIA Expo remains valuable not only as a showcase for new technology, but as an opportunity to hear directly from integrators and suppliers, identify new technologies and explore collaborations that may not have been planned before arriving in Denver. Savage notes that some of the most valuable opportunities at trade shows can emerge from unplanned conversations with suppliers and other industry participants.
