SUCCESS STORIES
Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai
CEDIA Expo has been instrumental in launching my company, Josh.ai, and gaining exposure to the custom installation community. Our very first exhibit was inside the Expo’s Innovation Alley (now the Launchpad), a corridor highlighting promising new ventures. Just two years later we took home CEDIA’s Best New Product Award for Josh Micro, a hardware product we announced at the Expo. This show is a major highlight for us and we always look forward to unveiling our latest innovation.
Brent Wiseman, HDMI Staffing
We had just opened HDMI Staffing when we displayed in Innovation Alley (now the Launchpad) at the 2017 CEDIA Expo, we literally didn’t know what to expect. In the end it far surpassed our expectations by providing immediate business at the show and immediately after. It was a major help in putting us on the map within the Integrator community.
Trung Pham, CEO and Founder, AXIS
CEDIA Expo and Innovation Alley (now the Launchpad) were absolutely pivotal in enabling us to test the dealer market for our product, while at the same time provide unbelievable exposure and build valuable relationships in the industry.
J.B. Fowler, Domotz
CEDIA Expo has been a great way for our company to get exposure to Integrators and Manufacturers in the industry. Innovation Alley (now the Launchpad) provided a forum to showcase our technology and educate the channel on how Domotz could improve their business models. I’m looking forward to continued success with CEDIA.
