“We couldn’t be more excited for the return of live events, and are pulling out all the stops to mark the occasion,” said Megan Knedler, director of marketing at Legrand | AV. “At CEDIA Expo, we’ll be showcasing all of our product lines — from structured wiring and display mounts to networking and power management equipment — which work together to deliver the framework for connected living, while simplifying installations and increasing profitability for integrators. Attendees can check out our solutions in action by stopping by booth 5347, where we’ll also be highlighting Vantage lighting and QMotion shading systems. And of course, we’ll be offering manufacturer product training for dealers throughout the show. It’s going to be an amazing time getting together again in Indianapolis and we can’t wait to see you there.”
