The first of CEDIA’s four UK Tech + Business Summit events launched in Bristol last month, six years since CEDIA last visited the South West city. The free-to-attend event provided a unique, accessible opportunity for attendees to discuss the latest in innovative technology, network with fellow industry peers, and gain dynamic business-centric education.
Organisers said they were pleased with the support for the recent Bristol event, with 25 sponsors signing up to showcase their latest products to integrators, electricians, designers and technicians. A carefully curated selection of insightful business seminars were presented by the likes of Leslie Shiner from The Shiner Group, Hazel Napier from BEB Consultancy, and CEDIA’s Steve Carter.
“Being a sponsor of the CEDIA Tech + Business Summits is a must for us,” commented Shane Caswell from Webro. “Through these events, CEDIA is bringing the industry together – it feels like they’re building a community. The Bristol event was great for us and the day after we had orders in from some of the attendees who we met at the show.”
Now, CEDIA is heading to London. On Thursday 18 April, the CEDIA Tech + Business Summit will return where attendees can meet over 50 sponsors displaying their latest products and immerse themselves in a packed agenda.
Alongside valuable opportunities to network and get hands-on with cutting-edge technology, the London programme also holds three business sessions hosted by industry leaders.
- Late Payments, Paperwork and Problems – Reduce Your Risk in 10 Simple Steps (Hazel Napier, BEB Contract & Legal Services)
- The session will focus on simple tips and ideas attendees can implement into their own businesses, including a Q&A session and a free, handy checklist to take away.
- Standing Out to Your Customers in The Right Place at The Right Time (Emma Landford and Dan Fernandez from FOUND)
- By focusing on some key areas of your website, your brand can be found by people searching for your products or services when they’re planning their project so they can get the correct information from accredited smart home providers, not the electrician your neighbour recommended.
- Money Matters – Enhancing Business Profitability with Standards (Ben Goff, Cinema Lusso)
- Find out more about CEDIA Standards by delving into the current portfolio of what’s available and the future roadmap in 2024 and beyond, plus find out ways how you can get involved.
