Beginning September 15, many sessions will be available on-demand.

CEDIA has announced an extensive slate of educational offerings at this year’s virtual edition of CEDIA Expo. The courses, which range in rigor from beginner to intermediate to advanced, cover some of the most relevant and practical subjects for home technology integrators.

“Learners will be treated to a wide array of high-quality courses delivered virtually to wherever they are in the world,” says CEDIA vice president of education and training Samantha Ventura. “The subject matter will be on point for integrators of all skill levels searching for knowledge from high-caliber experts who live and breathe the finer points of the industry. We’re engaging learners on all levels and doing so with topics that will give them techniques, expertise, and valuable takeaways to grow their knowledge base and build their business. You can’t find virtual industry education this rigorous delivered straight to you anywhere else. We are extremely excited about the number of learning opportunities for Spanish speakers this year and the increased accessibility created by on-demand capabilities.”
