CEDIA has announced that Dr. Michio Kaku will give the Opening Keynote Presentation at CEDIA EXPO 2012.

Dr. Kaku is an internationally recognized authority on physics and predicting trends based on the latest research in science. His book Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 was recently named one of the “Top 25 Tech Books” by VentureBeat. This book also spent five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

His keynote presentation, The Intuitive Home of 2016: What’s After the Smart Home, will center around the concept that most smart homes are not smart, but well-designed homes installed by smart electronic systems contractors (ESCs). Dr. Kaku will discuss how the smart home is set to evolve into the fully intuitive home with the help of next-generation future technology such as IPv6, RFID devices and artificial intelligence.

We think this is a can’t-miss keynote – Physics of the Future is one of rAVe founder Gary Kayye’s all-time favorite technology books.

The keynote will take place on Wed., Sept. 5 at 5:30 p.m. in the Wabash Ballroom at the Indiana Convention Center and is free to attend.

CEDIA EXPO 2012 will be held Sept. 5-8 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Registration will open May 30 at www.cedia.org/expo.
