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 David Parrett, vice president partnerships & specifications, Somfy North America.
Why exhibit at CEDIA Expo 2026?
As the leading show focused on residential integrators, we see it as integral to our annual marketing calendar to inform the industry about new developments at Somfy, learn more about unmet needs and pain points where we can help integrators, and to continue to build on our already solid relationships with valued partners.
What is the most exciting trend you expect to see at the show?
Motorized shading serves an ever-important role to the luxury consumer with stronger engagement each year from the CE channel, with more and more expanding into sun control products for outdoor living. I look forward to seeing how systems integrators are adapting to these new market opportunities.
What will you focus on at the show?
Further building on the ease of integration with product partners. The future of shading is not just about what is visible. It is about the technology inside and how seamlessly it connects with the rest of the home.
