Good news for the upcoming CEDIA Expo is here as it will again play host to the Day of Discovery, a gathering of design-build professionals and residential technology specialists that showcases how technology can significantly enhance homeowners’ lives.
The event, launched last year and hosted by Technology Designer, is designed to address a key challenge faced by design-build professionals: seamlessly incorporating technology into a home’s design and maintaining the aesthetics of the home.
Essentially, the event will help designers, architects and building professionals install smart home and home entertainment systems that blend into the home’s design.
“We’re excited to welcome back our colleagues throughout the design-build community to learn more about how residential technology enhances design and supports architects, builders and interior designers in delivering performance homes across North America,” said Douglas Weinstein, Editor-in-Chief of Technology Designer Magazine.
“We’re proud to partner with CEDIA and Emerald and look forward to seeing everyone in Denver this September.”
Lightapalooza took place in late February, and the growth of the event has mirrored the rapid ascension lighting fixtures and controls.
Attendees of the Day of Discovery will benefit from high-profile keynote addresses that shed light on how to leverage technology to enhance brand presence, create indoor environments that promote well-being, design intelligent lighting systems, and develop exceptional entertainment spaces.
Keynote sessions include “Leveraging Technology as an Extension of Your Brand,” “Selling Indoor Environments that Promote Well-Being,” “Introduction to Intelligent Lighting Design,” and “Creating Great Entertainment Spaces.”
Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald, says homeowners are increasingly investing ins paces that offer functionality and seamless technological integration.
“The Day of Discovery at CEDIA Expo 2024 is curated to bridge the gap between aesthetics and technology, providing professionals with the knowledge and tools they need to create harmonious, technologically-enhanced living spaces,” McGraw says. “This event is a must-attend for anyone in the design-build sector looking to stay ahead of the curve and integrate the latest residential technology into their projects.”
In addition to the keynote sessions, the event will facilitate connections between design-build professionals and residential technology specialists. Curated guided tours of the trade show floor in both the morning and afternoon sessions for a hands-on experience designed to give professionals practical knowledge and inspiration.

The event culminates with the Art & Sound Cocktail Reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sept. 5, 2024, a networking event included in the All-Day Conference Package or available separately through CEDIA Registration.
