Network technologies will feature prominently on the exhibit floor and on the curriculum of panels and workshops at CEDIA Expo/Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX), taking place in Denver on September 3-6, 2025.
“The power of today’s audiovisual systems integration is bringing together a variety of components, sources, and content that are controlled via an IP addressable network,” said Jason McGraw, Group Vice President and Show Director of CEDIA Expo/CIX. “That’s the magic of systems integration, and it’s how our community of integrators commands success by delivering a seamless, integrated experience for their customers. To serve this function, integrators need to deploy high-performing network technologies and highly evolved network best practices. CEDIA Expo/CIX is ground zero for both!”
“A lot of work has been invested into hardening home/commercial networks,” McGraw added. “Those innovations aren’t always apparent, and the threats they protect against are rarely a problem until they’re a disaster. CEDIA Expo/CIX is an opportunity for integrators to learn about emerging technologies, emerging threats, and new best practices. It’s also where they can ask questions, gain practical advice, and acquire first-hand experience with network devices — business-critical information that cannot be sourced on a website or gleaned from a brochure.”
