Registration is open and early bird discounts are available for the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association’s annual tradeshow, CEDIA EXPO, which will be held at the Colorado Convention Center Sept. 25-28.

CEDIA EXPO will offer 107 training sessions for home technology professionals, including 36 that are brand new. Some of new courses include Delivering Custom on a Standard Budget; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Working with Other Trades; and Who Hired All These Crazy People.

CEDIA training is categorized into five areas of focus, which are: business growth, emerging trends, forging alliances, operational excellence and technical excellence. Attendees can easily search and select their courses based on their preferred area of concentration.

Attendees looking to take full advantage of the training offered can purchase a CEDIA Training Pass for $399, which allows them to register for as many courses as they can fit in their schedules. CEDIA has also introduced a new Networking Training Pass that allows attendees to take two networking courses and sit for the CEDIA Residential Networking Specialist Exam for $299.

In addition to the new selection of training courses, CEDIA has also added some new events to the CEDIA EXPO roster to help attendees network and make the most out of their CEDIA EXPO experience. New attendees can learn the ropes and meet industry veterans at the First Time Attendee Orientation. Another way for attendees to meet fellow industry members is by signing up for one of the new Dining with Strangers events that allows attendees to make connections with others in the industry over lunch or dinner in Denver.

CEDIA has also made it easier for attendees to plan their show schedule; the new registration system will alert users when there is a time conflict with selected courses and allow them to see where they have space in their schedule. The CEDIA EXPO website system also provides a live chat feature so attendees can get their questions answered on anything from what courses to take to shuttle routes.

The CEDIA EXPO virtual registration brochure offers more information on the CEDIA training as well as other events planned for the show. Individuals may save 40 percent on registration fees until August 2. For more information or to register, click here.
