The sessions will offer unique insights from brands and organisations that have experienced success in new market segments, including AVPro Global, Broan-NuTone, Delos Living, Dynamat Inc., HAB Home Intelligence, Hubitat Inc., IMCCA (Interactive Multimedia & Collaborative Communications Alliance), Jabra, Living in Place Institute (LIPI), VOC Instrumentation and more.
Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for CEDIA Expo and KBIS, Emerald said: “The Innovation Hub will feature powerful programming on new technology and emerging trends to provide insightful opportunities for integrators, designers, builders and residential channel professionals to drive business forward.”
CEDIA Expo has identified key areas of growth for the residential technology industry to develop sessions focused on emerging technologies and trending market segments. Coined ‘resmiercial’, the crossover between residential and commercial integration has created an increased opportunity for integrators. Emerging technology application segments, such as work from home, outdoor living, lighting and security, are offering new business expansion opportunities.
To support these new growth categories, CEDIA Expo has created the Innovation Hub specifically designed to present technology application case studies to help illuminate new business and technology areas for CEDIA Expo attendees.
IMCCA, a supporting association partner, will assist CEDIA Expo with developing, organising, and moderating content session discussions on unified communications and work from home topics.
CEDIA Expo is taking place from 29 September to 1 October in Dallas, Texas.
