CEDIA Expo will take place later this week on Sept. 1-3, 2021, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can find THE rAVe Agency’s coverage of the Expo on our microsite here.
“There’s no other show this year that will offer an opportunity to see and hear what’s new in the residential technology industry — and connect with your peers,” said Emerald Group vice president, CEDIA Expo & KBIS, Jason McGraw. “While the show will be smaller, it also presents something unique: More time for quality, one-on-one relationship building and a chance to see brands that might overwise be missed.”
The following brands are just a sample of the nearly 100 brands that will exhibit at the show:
