CEDIA will conclude its 2026 UK Tech + Business Summit roadshow with its largest event of the year at the Business Design Centre in London.
Featuring more than 40 sponsors, the one-day event on July 7 aims to unite smart home professionals through the exchange of ideas as multidisciplinary integration flourishes in the residential space.
Matt Nimmons, managing director of CEDIA EMEA, said: “The London Tech + Business Summit comes at a time when collaboration across the smart home sector has never been more important.
“As projects become more complex and client expectations continue to rise, bringing integrators, manufacturers, distributors, designers and other professionals together in one place creates real value.”
One of the highlights will be a panel discussion exploring the relationship between technology professionals, architects and interior designers.
Entitled ‘Collaboration to Build Success: Aligning Design, Space, and Technology on Home Integration Projects’, the session will feature Durgesh Sinh of Nucleus, interior designer Alex Dauley and Kate Clare of Loud Architects to examine how early engagement can transform project outcomes.
The educational programme also includes an accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session on integrated lighting design, presented by Damien Smith of AV specialist Flux London.
The talk will explore how lighting design can influence both feel and functionality in residential spaces, while at the same time simplifying control and user experience.
Outside of the sessions, exhibitors include brands across audio, video, lighting, networking, control and infrastructure.
These include Crestron, Monitor Audio, JVC, Sonos, Sony, KEF and Lutron.
The event is free to attend for industry professionals, with registration available here.
