CEDIA’s education track for the 2025 CEDIA Expo conference will look a bit different this year, giving attendees even more reason to get excited for the Sept. 3-6 event in Denver.
The association is introducing what it calls “a new approach” to its educational conference. It will include courses taught by industry leaders and organized by relevant tracks that meet the needs of today’s evolving custom integration industry.
CEDIA notes that Amanda Wildman, an industry expert and owner of TruMedia in Ada, Mich., will oversee the curation of the redesigned program in her role as a short-term paid consultant for the association.
Just a sample of the instructor roster at CEDIA Expo includes industry luminaries Marc Fisher (Origin Acoustics), Noah Kaplan (Leon Speakers), Alex Capecelatro (Josh.ai), Peter Aylett (Officina Acoustica), Ron Callis (One Firefly), Ed Gilmore (AHT Global/Gilmore’s Sound Advice), and Toni Sabatino (Toni Sabatino Style).
