In our series of #CEDIAShares blogs, we’re talking with exhibitors about the hottest technologies and trends they’re looking to see at CEDIA Expo.
Q&A with Ryan Donaher, owner of Apex Technologies.
Why exhibit at CEDIA Expo 2026?
CEDIA Expo gives Apex Technologies the opportunity to connect face-to-face with the custom integration community, strengthen relationships with existing customers, and introduce new partners to the solutions that continue to shape our business. There is no substitute for demonstrating products in person, exchanging ideas with integrators, and hearing firsthand about the challenges they are solving in the field. The show also provides an ideal venue to showcase how our expanding portfolio of cinema, control, and power management solutions work together to create complete systems that help integrators deliver exceptional experiences while growing their businesses.
What is the most exciting trend you expect to see at the show?
One of the most exciting trends is the continued evolution of immersive audio solutions designed specifically for large-format dvLED displays in dedicated home cinemas. As more homeowners embrace LED video walls for premium entertainment spaces, the demand for audio systems engineered to complement these installations continues to grow. We also expect artificial intelligence to have a noticeable presence throughout the show, with manufacturers exploring practical ways AI can streamline system configuration, improve diagnostics, enhance user experiences, and make advanced technologies more accessible for both integrators and homeowners.
What will you focus on at the show?
Our primary focus will be demonstrating complete solutions that help integrators create extraordinary home cinema experiences while simplifying ongoing system management. Visitors will see our award-winning Apex Cinema Hub, Power by Control Envy, and Apex Power Hub interfaces delivered through Apex’s enterprise-grade hardware appliance, alongside immersive audio solutions from TPI Aerospace and Meridian. We’ll also showcase the full GUDE family of intelligent power management products, illustrating how centralized monitoring, automation, and remote diagnostics can improve system reliability, reduce service calls, and provide long-term value for both integrators and their clients.
