CEDIA has announced the dates for its Sydney Tech Forum that combines education, product insights and networking.

“The CEDIA Tech Forums are an excellent way of providing integrators with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills, as well as network with their peer,” says CEDIA regional development consultant for Australia Lauren Tuckwell.

The two-day Sydney event is being held at Canada Bay Club on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 March, and will include CEDIA courses, manufacturer training and industry networking.

The sponsors of the 2018 Tech Forum are Amber Technology; Audio Visual Distributors; Avation; Blustream; Connected Media Australia; and Ivory Egg Australasia.
