CEDIA partners with 100% Design

Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) has announced that it has partnered with this year’s 100% Design event in London to “grow awareness of home technology amongst the design and build community.”

Taking place during the London Design Festival, the 2018 edition of the 100% Design will run from Wednesday 19 to Saturday 22 September at the Olympia exhibition centre in London, attracting thousands of architects, builders, and designers through its doors.

CEDIA has unveiled the partnership as part of its global strategy to increase engagement with the design and build community.

The organisation will exhibit at the show (stand D9) for the duration of the show, in addition to taking over the show’s CPD Hub on Day 2 and hosting a number of CPD training sessions to attendees.

Designed to explore every aspect of designing a “future-ready” customised home, with the programme CEDIA aims to clarify smart home technology in order to help designers further enrich the quality of projects and simplify the design and technology process.

The CPD hub is open to all visitors, with BIID and RIBA members receiving CPD points to further their professional development.
