This year’s CEDIA Expo will tackle the topic of artificial intelligence and the home with an afternoon of presentations and discussions on the topic on September 6, 2023.
The CEDIA Symposium will take place in the Four Seasons Ballroom inside the Colorado Convention Centre, home to this year’s CEDIA Expo.

The invitation-only event costs $250 to attend and is presented by Azione, HTSA, ProSource, and the CEDIA Association. Supporting organisations include Josh.ai and One Firefly,
