CEDIA has unveiled its re-imagined and expanded 2024 CEDIA Tech + Business Summits (formerly CEDIA Tech Summits) programme for the UK smart home technology industry.
The Association for Smart Home Professionals has announced a new name and theme, “CEDIA Tech + Business Summits: The Tech You Need, The Business You Want,” which encompasses the dual focus of these events in supporting members’ success.
With a carefully curated schedule, the summits offer a unique blend of dynamic training from technology and business leaders – including financial consultant and CEDIA Fellow, Leslie Shiner of The ShinerGroup, and Hazel Napier, Operations Director at legal and contract services specialist, BEB Consultancy.
Plus, each summit features networking opportunities for business owners, system designers, project managers, technicians, and newcomers alike. The UK programme is also extended to include Bristol as a summit destination for the first time, alongside London, Edinburgh and Leeds.
Key features of the event include:
Enhanced Education: Designed with all job roles in mind, CEDIA’s expert-led, dynamic sessions cover a spectrum of technology and business topics to provide attendees with tools for immediate action. They are intended for entire teams to sharpen their skills and remain at the forefront of the ever-evolving smart home landscape.
