“It is exciting to see our loyal CEDIA Expo exhibitors and attendees taking full advantage of this singular opportunity to make these industry-critical connections,” says Brian Pagel, senior vice president Emerald Expositions. “The Design Connection Tours are all about two industries coming together to share expertise that allows them to go above and beyond client expectations in the realm of design and technology integration.”
“Architects, builders, and developers have the same goal as technology integrators: to finish each project with a satisfied client,” says Control4 Senior Vice President of Marketing Susan Cashen. “Technology should support a home’s stylish design and atmosphere, rather than diminish it. We believe there is essential connection between the aesthetic of a home and the technology it encompasses; the two should blend seamlessly and effortlessly to elevate the overall design and create a more inviting and comfortable lifestyle for its homeowners. For us, being a part of CEDIA’s Design Connection Tours helps us support our goals to further align design and technology in this industry.”
