08.30.21 CEDIA in Indianapolis

CEDIA Expo has partnered with Interactive Multimedia & Collaborative Communications Alliance (IMCCA) to feature insights, subject matter experts and interactive activations centred around unified communications solutions for work-from-home (WFH) and hybrid applications.

Presented at CEDIA Expo 2022, IMCCA will showcase WFH setups in mock home office demos. The interactive demonstrations at sponsors’ exhibits and in the IMCCA Work from Home Showcase, will focus on the emerging home office market segments, including lighting fixtures and lighting control, sound control solutions, video and audio technology, collaboration software and hardware and home office furniture.

“The revolution of remote and hybrid work is reshaping communication and collaboration across business and education segments,” CEDIA Expo group vice president Jason McGraw says.

“Users require high-quality and professional-grade technology. These evolving requirements drive new trends in lighting, audio and video, conferencing and collaboration, and networking technology and provide increased business opportunities for residential systems integrators, designers, distributors, architects, home builders and contractors. IMCCA will provide educational programming, ‘resimercial’ technology insights and an interactive activation to support attendees’ knowledge in this growing market segment.”

IMCCA executive director, Carol Zelkin, says that most enterprises have embraced hybrid working and everyone understands that meetings moving forward will have at least one remote participant.

“The opportunity to develop and set standards for tens of thousands of WFH users is before us,” she says.

“It’s a natural fit for the resimercial space to lead the way in developing and implementing these needed WFH standards in a way that fits nicely with enterprise requirements. Both residential and commercial integrators will benefit from the demonstrations and the expert-led sessions at this year’s CEDIA Expo.”

IMCCA will present a State of the Work from Home Industry session on the CEDIA Expo Smart Stage on 29 September 2022, at 12:00 pm CDT.
