CEDIA has announced that it will be hosting a three hour technology, consumer trends and business strategy workshop on 29 September in the UK. The workshop will be held right before the 2017 CEDIA Awards that will be hosted that evening.

The workshops will take place at the Lutron Experience Centre in London and will delve into the future of home technology. It will also focus on how consumer and technology trends will affect businesses over the next five years.

The day will commence with an update from each council member who will discuss their predictions of future trends in the technology market. Based off of this, people will split into groups to discuss and develop a way to make the most of opportunities and overcome any potential challenges.

“This is a perfect opportunity for delegates to gain valuable insight into forthcoming developments” says CEDIA EMEA managing director Matt Nimmons.

“In an industry that is constantly evolving, it is vital for businesses to understand the changing technology and consumer trends that will affect how they trade. Offering professionals the latest thinking and practical advice, the workshop will be an insightful pre-cursor for an evening of innovation at the 2017 CEDIA Awards.”

Below is the schedule of the day:

From 09:30 – Arrival and coffee

10:00 – 13:00 – Workshop session
