With advocacy a key association pillar, Daryl Friedman
moderated an Advocacy Town Hall breakfast on the first
day of last year's CEDIA Expo in Dallas.
IT HAS BEEN JUST UNDER two years since CEDIA,
following an exhaustive candidate search, named
Daryl Friedman as its next president & CEO. He came to the
industry and the association with deep roots in the entertainment
industry, whose work of course custom integrators
help to deliver as amazing experiences to clients.
Before CEDIA, Friedman spent more than 30 years in
nonprofit leadership roles, overseeing membership, advocacy,
industry relations, and the technical wing for the
25,000-member Recording Academy, known globally for the
GRAMMY Awards.
" Having represented audio professionals for most of my
career, I've long admired CEDIA for championing immersive
audio experiences in the home, " Friedman commented at the
time in October 2021, before taking the helm in late November
that year. " Now, as our homes become the hub for work,
education, entertainment, and wellness, CEDIA members are
the indispensable partners for making our homes more comfortable
and connected. This is truly CEDIA's moment, and I
am honored to join the team at this exciting time. "
Now, two years later, has the industry capitalized on that
moment? Where is it headed as we attend this year's CEDIA
Expo and prepare to turn the page from the steady 2023
