Reaffirming the critical role that in-person interactions play in advancing relationships and accelerating commerce, Emerald Expositions announced the addition of more than 50 new exhibitors to the CEDIA Expo/Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX) taking place in Denver, Sept. 3-6, 2025. New additions include global brands, mid-sized PE-backed enterprises and VC-backed startups in the residential and commercial integration realms.
“Business is dynamic, technology is evolving and a host of macro-economic narratives from consumer sentiment, cost of capital, supply chain disruption and more are shaping 2026 planning for integration businesses, their customers and their vendor/partners,” said Jason McGraw, group vice president and show director of CEDIA Expo/CIX. “This expo is at exactly the right time and place with the right participants to facilitate meaningful conversations and robust commercial strategies. Brands recognize that if you’re not in Denver this September, you will not be front of mind for 2026.”
This year’s show features strong category growth, with a dynamic mix of new and established exhibitors. In control, Aqara and Atios AG are bringing fresh takes on automation. The lighting and shading category continues to expand with solutions from BTX Window Treatments, Folio, Deako and others focused on efficiency and design.
“As a pioneer in smart home and IoT technologies, we see CEDIA Expo/CIX as a platform for elevating our brand, demonstrating our products and solutions, building our channel, listening to feedback and learning from industry peers,” said Cathy You, senior vice president of global business and strategy at Aqara.
Audio remains a standout category with exhibitors like Brane Audio, Kii Audio, Mag Audio and NextLevel Acoustics delivering premium sound experiences. In the video market, BZB Gear and MyTVArt demonstrate new ways to integrate visual technology. Security also sees momentum, led by SimpliSafe, Siterwell Electronics and Tailwind.
“For custom integrators seeking to differentiate themselves with world-class sound and installation simplicity, CEDIA Expo/CIX is the place to be,” said JB Lierre, international sales & business development director for Kii Audio. “At this year’s show, Kii Audio will demonstrate how our fully active, DSP-driven Kii SEVEN systems deliver pinpoint accuracy, effortless room adaptation and plug-and-play integration—helping dealers accelerate sales, streamline install workflows and exceed client expectations.”
Infrastructure and installation solutions are well-represented in mounting, components and accessories, with innovations from Hang Smart TV, FabricWall and Robbox Robotic Tools. For the outdoors, Jet Living Products and Neptune TV bring durable performance to exterior spaces. And on the operations side, Brace, WeQuote and Cogent360 showcase tools that help integrators run smarter businesses.
“LiftMaster, powered by myQ technology, makes smart access control simple and secure for millions of homeowners, businesses and communities worldwide,” said Mariam Rogers-Walker, senior director of community sales for LiftMaster. “CEDIA Expo/CIX is a key forum for exchanging knowledge and new perspectives in smart home technology, and we look forward to engaging with dealers and customers at the show and sharing our latest innovations in access control technology.”
