Commercial Integrator November 2022 - 3
EDITOR'S NOTE

Why We Created
Commercial
Integrator Expo
AS I WRITE THESE WORDS, less than a week
removed from CEDIA Expo 2022, the buoyant
mood that prevailed in Dallas continues, with
AV professionals leveraging the connections
they made, digesting the education they took in
and considering new technology applications.
CEDIA Expo also marked the announcement of
arguably the most exciting initiative I've been
part of in my 18-year career - namely, Commercial
Integrator Expo, which will co-locate with
CEDIA Expo in Denver next year.
In creating the show, Emerald,
owner of CEDIA Expo and publisher
of Commercial Integrator,
will meet a market need among
fi xed-installation commercial AV
professionals and technology
managers. Simply put, we will
deliver a focused trade event,
bringing together a dedicated
exhibit fl oor, a robust conference
program and powerful networking
opportunities, that will center
on the needs of commercial integration
channel service providers
and growing verticals like corporate, higher
education, hospitality, retail and resimercial.
Commercial Integrator Expo will lean into the
ascent of hybrid work and learning spaces and
the blurring of the lines that once demarcated
commercial and residential applications. In so
doing, we'll empower integrators to widen their
aperture while leveraging core competencies.
Commercial Integrator's raison d'être is to
help integrators run their businesses better.
Commercial Integrator Expo co-locating with
CEDIA Expo aligns with our publication's mission
by recognizing that, post-pandemic, corporate
enterprises must consider not only conference
rooms and huddle spaces but also remote
associates in far-fl ung places who want (and
deserve) an equitable collaboration experience.
Moreover, even as higher-education institutions
strive to entice students back to campuses,
there's no doubt that distance learners will continue
to represent a growing proportion of the
student population. And they, too, expect (and
commercialintegrator.com
Commercial
are entitled to) an equitable education experience,
keeping them at parity with in-classroom
learners. If your company can off er a complete
solution to clients like these - addressing all of
their needs - your fi rm will earn more business
and achieve enduring profi tability.
When informed about Emerald's onebadge-two-shows
vision for CEDIA Expo and
Commercial Integrator Expo, executives from
iconic manufacturers and distributors expressed
excitement about the co-located
technology experience.
› Richard Ventura, VP of B2B,
Integrator Expo
will lean into
the ascent of
hybrid work and
learning spaces
and the blurring
of lines between
commercial and
residential.
Sony Electronics, said, " As residential
integrators install systems
in someone's home, they're
hearing from clients, 'I own a
couple of businesses. I want you
to come work for me there, as
well.' So, they want to come to a
place where they can see all the
resi technology and commercial
solutions they need, and how it all
works together. "
› Kim Brown, senior director
of marketing communications, Planar, stated,
" If you're going to a commercial- or a residential-only
show, you may not be seeing a whole
portfolio of products or solutions that might be
a good fi t for your organization's customers. By
including commercial and residential off erings
together in a single event, it opens doors for
integrators to consider products or solutions
they maybe haven't considered before. "
› Cynthia Menna, VP and GM, AV at ADI,
said, " Obviously, there's a lot of noise around
the term 'resimercial.' To us, it'll be really exciting
because there's crossover with customers
and crossover with suppliers. To be able to
bring them into one forum and capitalize on
both audiences, as well as show adjacencies
to those audiences, whether it's suppliers,
partners or customers, is a great opportunity
and great platform. "
CEDIA Expo 2023 and Commercial Integrator
Expo will take place September 7 to 9 in
Denver. We can't wait to see you there!
