Emerald
Expositions Acquires Select Assets of EH Media
CE

and Total Tech Summit Complement
Emerald Design Group Platforms
Alpharetta,
GA – August 21, 2018 – Emerald Expositions, a leading operator of business-to-business trade
shows in the United States, announces the acquisition of the following key
brands serving the technology sector for the built environment:
CE
Pro, Commercial Integrator (CI), Campus Safety, Security Sales and Integration
(SSI) and Total Tech Summit.
This
blended package of show and media assets will integrate and strengthen the
Emerald Expositions Design Group of trade shows including HD Expo (Hospitality
Design), ICFF (formerly the International Contemporary Furniture Fair), the Healthcare
Design Conference, GlobalShop and Expo and Design and Construction Week. Each of these events benefits from the audiences
served by this portfolio of technology platforms. Emerald Expositions acquired the CEDIA Expo
platform from CEDIA in January of 2017 establishing a presence in the
smart/connected residential and light commercial markets.
All
of these brands, including CEDIA Expo, allows the Emerald design brands to
develop programming, education and connections that make for beautifully
designed, safe and increasingly smart/connected spaces
“Specifiers
of residential and commercial spaces are hungry for insights, strategic
partnerships and know-how concerning the intelligent integration of technology
in built environments,” said David Loechner, President and CEO Emerald
Expositions. “Emerald Expositions is perfectly poised to bring technologists
and specifiers together. The acquisition
of these platforms allows for integration into established Emerald Expo design
events, as well as to continue to grow and develop the platforms themselves.”
The
newly acquired brands and CEDIA will have installations at Design and
Construction Week, HD Expo and ICFF in 2019.
