CEDIA Launches CEDIA Connect Local Training Program

CEDIA has launched CEDIA Connect, a new in-person education program bringing its globally accredited certification training to key member regions. CEDIA Connect is a three-day classroom-based experience that emphasizes interactive learning, group activities, and practical discussion. The third day of each CEDIA Connect event is focused on CIT exam review and preparation, with the CEDIA Cabling & Infrastructure Technician (CIT) exam offered separately for those who wish to sit for it. Participants may register for the full program, the CIT exam only, or both.

The 2026 CEDIA Connect pilot program is delivered in collaboration with ADI, and is hosted at ADI facilities across the U.S.

During the program, members of the smart home community are also invited to spend an evening at an exclusive CEDIA Mixer for food, drinks, and peer connection.

In 2026, CEDIA Connect will complement the North American CEDIA Tech + Business Summits, helping expand access to in-person education across both high-density hubs and historically underserved regions. Insights gained during the pilot year will inform the program’s expansion to additional regions worldwide as part of CEDIA’s broader global education strategy.
