New York, NY (August 21, 2024) – Commercial Integrator Expo, a full-featured exposition and conference addressing the needs of today’s fixed installation audiovisual systems professionals and technology managers, announces new educational programming, emphasizing emerging trends in commercial lighting, strategies for monetizing digital signage and methods to leverage streaming for various applications, at the Commercial Integrator Expo 2024 Conference. Additionally, sessions will explore the integration of AV in hybrid workspaces, immersive classroom environments and security measures in AV businesses.

Designed to be a must-attend event for systems professionals and technology managers, the CIX Conference addresses a variety of markets, including corporate, higher education, hospitality, retail and light commercial settings. The CIX Conference will offer over 20 tailored sessions to inspire professionals and address the latest industry trends and challenges. Each session is designed to equip participants with actionable knowledge and practical tips to enhance their expertise and stay ahead of the curve.

A few highlights of the CIX Conference’s educational programming include:

– Managed services have long been a staple in the IT industry, and the AV industry is beginning to embrace this model. Whether launching a managed service business, enhancing service offerings or simply seeking a deeper understanding, “AV Managed Services for Beginners” will cover essential topics like the distinction between managed services and traditional approaches, the concept of AV as a Service (AVaaS) and strategies for integrating and growing managed services.
– Attendees can discover how Visual Artificial Intelligence Analytics (VAIA) is revolutionizing the global HD surveillance market by enhancing detection capabilities and setting new standards for building security specifications. This session, led by Mark Anthony Richards, will explore VAIA’s transformative impact, demonstrating how advanced AI is offering unparalleled insights and elevating security measures beyond the limitations of traditional IP/MP cameras.
– Attendees can explore the unique challenges of building Esports venues, where designing for players, coaches, participants, and broadcasters means creating multiple AV systems that function seamlessly in one space. “Everything You Need to Know About Building Esports Venues” will cover essential design considerations for various Esports environments, including academic settings, communal play, and stadium competitions, while also addressing the critical roles of neurodiversity, acoustics and ADA compliance.
– Attendees can stay ahead in the world of Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) by exploring the latest technologies and platforms that offer high-quality solutions at a fraction of the cost of traditional telepresence rooms. “How To Choose The Right Technology – IMCCA’s UC Technology Update” will guide participants through evaluating and selecting the best cameras, audio devices and collaboration tools for both personal and group use, while highlighting the newest products and innovations shaping the future of UCC.

“This year’s CIX Conference is designed to provide attendees with information to tackle the latest challenges in the audiovisual industry,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald. “We’re excited to bring together industry leaders to share insights and spark meaningful discussions about the future of AV systems in business and work environments. Additionally, attendees can freely choose sessions that match their interests, with complimentary access to all CIX Conference sessions – a significant value for all CEDIA Expo and CIX attendees.”

One of the most exciting aspects of this year’s CIX Conference is its flexibility. CEDIA Expo and CIX attendees can participate in any educational session of their choice without committing to the entire conference. This approach ensures that professionals can tailor their learning experience to suit their specific interests and needs, making it easier than ever to access the most relevant content.

The CIX Conference will take place from September 4th to 6th, and Commercial Integrator Expo, co-located with CEDIA Expo, will take place from September 5th to 7th, 2024, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO.
