CEDIA made its third appearance at the 2019 Design and Construction Week trade show with a strong presence on both the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) side and the International Builder’s Show (IBS) side.
This show has become an important part of CEDIAs strategy, which is to engage with and deepen relationships in the residential design and construction arena. With the recent addition of Giles Sutton, as senior vice president of industry engagement at CEDIA, the association has a spokesperson with the industry expertise to continue to grow relationships.
“We saw from our first year at this show how important it would be to the association’s growth,” said Sutton. “The integration of design and technology is not only a natural fit, but one that is becoming more important as technology advances. The ability to share our wealth of information with this audience is what keeps us coming back – it continues to offer us amazing opportunities.”
The association again sponsored the CEDIA Technology Solutions Pavilion, designated specifically to showcase exhibitors who specialize in technology solutions for the home. Located in the South Hall Level 2, SU48, the Pavilion provided space for exhibitors but it also had an area where they hosted and participated in three days of programming.
