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 Cynthia Menna, VP and GM, AV, ADI.
Why exhibit at CEDIA Expo 2026?
At CEDIA Expo this year, we’re looking forward to demonstrating how an integrated ecosystem creates better outcomes for dealers and homeowners at every stage of the project, from installation and commissioning to ongoing management and support. We’re excited to showcase how that vision comes to life across the Control4 ecosystem with new routines, widgets, and enhanced surveillance capabilities that make everyday interactions smarter and more personalized.
What is the most exciting trend you expect to see at the show?
One of the biggest trends we’ll see at CEDIA this year is intelligence becoming embedded throughout the connected home. AI is evolving beyond standalone features to create experiences that are more intuitive, personalized, and proactive while making systems easier for dealers to deploy, manage, and support. AI is also transforming security through intelligent event playback, richer notifications, and next-generation video doorbell experiences, giving homeowners more meaningful insights while helping dealers deliver greater value.
What will you focus on at the show?
Through live demonstrations, we’ll show how ADI’s distributed and exclusive brands work together seamlessly, delivering deeper third-party interoperability, enhanced remote management, and powerful software and service tools that help integrators operate more efficiently, create better customer experiences, and grow their businesses. We’ll also highlight the value-added services, technical expertise, training, and business support that enable customers to maximize efficiency and drive long-term success beyond the initial installation.
ADI will showcase its portfolio of solutions from leading distributed manufacturers, including Samsung, Sony, KEF, and Klipsch, alongside its exclusive brands spanning networking, control, lighting, audio, surveillance, power management, and outdoor entertainment. Featured demonstrations will include the latest Control4 X4 smart living experience, the Araknis Networks 830 Wi-Fi 7 Access Point, the Control4 T5 In-Wall Touchscreen, expanded Control4 Vibrant Lighting solutions, Triad Stratus outdoor audio, Luma surveillance, Access Networks Wi-Fi 7 networking, and WattBox power management.
