Artificial Intelligence is transforming both the way integrators work and the technologies they deploy in homes. But with innovation comes responsibility. This session explores the ethical and practical challenges integrators now face. Rich Green will examine key issues, such as, copyright infringement, privacy, data security, and the implications of always-on cameras and microphones. How do you protect client data from misuse or hacking? What guardrails should be in place to prevent unintended actions by autonomous systems? And where does liability fall when AI makes a mistake? Attendees will gain actionable insights into best practices for ethical practice and integration, including system design considerations and risk mitigation strategies. This session will help you navigate the intersection of AI and ethics, empowering you to lead responsibly in the age of intelligent homes.

Design is all about the end user, your customer. Peter Aylett and Rich Green will change how you think about the true needs of your clients and give crisp, concrete examples of the Design Thinking Process. You will leave with new insights for improving your sales, design and operations.

This is your opportunity to contribute to the conversation, ask the tough questions, and think deeply about the future of your role in a rapidly changing ecosystem.

There is so much to see at Expo that you can't see everything, but there are somethings you just can't miss. Before Expo closes, CEDIA Lifetime Achievement Recipients Rich Green and Michael Heiss present their famous "Post-Game Report" so that you can get the summary of what is on the show floor while there is still a chance to check things out. After all, you cam all the way and you want to be sure that you didn't miss anything. Audience participation is encouraged so that you have a chance to hear from your fellow attendees about what they thought were the key new products and services.

CEDIA is launching a restructured and expanded Professional Development Council, creating new opportunities for members to help shape the future of education, certification, advocacy, and emerging technology deployment across the industry. In this exclusive rollout session, attendees will hear directly from PDC leaders about how the Council and its subcommittees will guide CEDIA’s professional development strategy in 2027 and beyond. More than an update, this session is an invitation: a chance for members to understand where CEDIA education is headed, how industry needs are being translated into learning priorities, and how they can take an active role in building the programs, standards, and resources that will support the next generation of smart home professionals. Whether you are passionate about workforce development, technical excellence, business growth, certification, or the responsible adoption of new technologies, this session will show how your voice and expertise can help move the association—and the industry—forward. The future of CEDIA education starts here.
