The format is a mix of product exhibition and training seminars held in the same venue. Every year it offers home automation practitioners the chance to network with experts in related disciplines and to become acquainted with the very latest techniques, innovations and technologies dedicated to the delivery of the next generation of fully networked ‘automated’ homes. Exhibitors come from the fields of security, satellite, lighting, home automation and AV.
CEDIA’s seminar programme caters for practitioners of all abilities in 21 individual courses, supported by training from a wide range of manufacturers. Subjects are as varied as home cinema room design, residential cabling, sub system integration, lighting controls and home networking. This year as last, members of the public will be welcomed as the guests of CEDIA members at a cost of £10 per head. Those interested should contact their local CEDIA member. A list of members is available via the CEDIA UK website.
