The significance of the Commercial Integrator Expo 2023 (CIX2023) event is important for both residential and commercial system integration professionals.
The event provides the North American residential and commercial technology industries the first co-located trade event on U.S. soil to enable convenient travel and accommodations to take part in the latest training sessions, industry networking opportunities, and the ability to see the latest products. At the co-located CEDIA Expo CIX2023 show attendees can bolster their educational credits through classes offered by organizations that include the CEDIA trade group, as well as commercial AV organizations such as the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA), and the non-profit conferencing and collaboration organization IMCCA.
Let’s take a look at three AV-related educational sessions that will be available to CIX2023 attendees to take part in during this new industry trade event:
