The CEDIA Board has extended chief executive and global president Daryl Friedman’s service through 2027, underscoring his and the Board’s dedication to CEDIA’s stability and continuity.

“I’m honoured to continue serving as CEDIA’s global president and chief executive and am committed to building upon the progress we’ve made across CEDIA’s three pillars of advocacy, connection and education,” Daryl says.

“Together, with our committed Board of Directors, professional staff, dedicated volunteers and dynamic members, I am confident we can continue serving and shaping the future of the professional smart home technology industry.”

Daryl began his role as CEDIA’s chief executive and global president on 29 November 2021. His people-first mentality has since shaped various initiatives association-wide, ultimately steering CEDIA in the direction of stability and growth. Foremost, his strategic financial decisions helped guide CEDIA out of the pandemic, achieving profitability for the association again for the first time in nearly five years.
