“CEDIA Expo 2022 was an impressive return to in-person events for the custom systems integration channel,” says Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for CEDIA Expo and KBIS, Emerald. “The strong turnout of attendees to this year’s show exceeded expectations and we performed much better than most industry events held this year in terms of working back to pre-pandemic numbers. Over 40 percent of attendees were first-time attendees, demonstrating our continued commitment to connecting exhibitors with new customers. Attendees were serious about business and were fully engaged with our exhibitors. There was an energy and buzz of excitement clearly evident on the show floor. We can’t wait for CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver, Colo.!”
CEDIA Expo 2022 connected technology integrators, manufacturers, and design professionals. The industry’s show provided attendees with an opportunity this year to re-engage with the leading manufacturers of audio, video, lighting, signal distribution, control systems, energy management, security, and emerging market technologies.
