CEDIA Expo announced the return of Destination Outdoors, an outdoor activation showcasing AV technology.

Covering a 24,000-square-foot area, Destination Outdoors offers a firsthand glimpse into the possibilities for outdoor spaces. This immersive experience promises to highlight the latest technology aimed at elevating any outdoor environment. Destination Outdoors will be adorned with grassy expanses, stylish patio furnishings, lawn games, outdoor seating and canopy tents to create the perfect backdrop for demonstrating the latest outdoor innovations.

At CEDIA Expo 2024, Coastal Source, an outdoor audio and lighting systems provider, will join forces with Draper At Home, specializing in residential window shades and audiovisual equipment, and Just Video Walls, a company known for its dvLED video walls, digital signage, video processors and digital video content, to present Destination Outdoors. Coastal Source, Draper At Home and Just Video Walls will unveil their product lines crafted to “provide entertainment in outdoor settings and withstand tough outdoor conditions throughout the year.”

“Recent trends indicate that consumers are increasingly interested in expanding their living spaces beyond the confines of their homes,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald. “This trend underscores the significance of custom installation technology in enhancing the outdoor living experience. From weather-resistant audio and lighting systems to innovative outdoor entertainment solutions, custom installation technology plays a critical role in transforming outdoor spaces into functional and enjoyable areas for relaxation, entertainment and socializing. We look forward to partnering with Coastal Source, Draper and Just Video Walls to explore the possibilities of outdoor entertainment at CEDIA Expo 2024.”
