As a business owner, chances are you spend your day making and executing plans. Whether it’s installing that perfectly planned theater complete with immersive audio or ticking things off the daily owner to-do list–payroll, invoicing, calling clients back–there is no doubt that these daily plans are essential to keeping things running smoothly. But sometimes planning for your company means taking time to step away from the day-to-day to really think big.
CEDIA 2016 is your show–it’s the place where you can discover new products and solutions, meet people in the business who “get it,” and learn about the innovations that are driving the future of this industry.
