The CEDIA Expo 2022 Conference brings industry advocacy, connection, and education to the home technology community through formal training and professional advancement, advocacy activations, and informed speakers on emerging trends. The CEDIA Expo Conference program also includes a diverse mix of formats, including thought-provoking seminars, engaging panels, and interactive half-day workshops.

This year’s CEDIA Expo also includes the debut of the CEDIA Advocacy Town Hall, a free session about the legislative and regulatory issues facing the home technology industry.
