CEDIA Expo is always a week chockfull of events, and this year attendees have one more option to check out. The Women in Consumer Technology (WiCT) group has announced that tickets are now available for its 17th Annual Networking Reception and Legacy Awards Luncheon, taking place Friday, September 5, 2025, at the Mile High Ballroom in the Colorado Convention Center during CEDIA Expo 2025.
It marks the first time that the prestigious event will be held at CEDIA Expo, offering attendees a chance to celebrate influential women in the industry at the biggest custom integration stage.
This year’s festivities kick off with a networking reception from 11:30 a.m. – noon, followed by the luncheon from noon – 1:15 p.m. Previously, the annual WiCT luncheon was held at the annual CES event in January in Las Vegas.
This event will recognize seven women whose leadership and achievements continue to shape the consumer technology industry. The honorees’ roles range from manufacturers and integration firms to trade organizations.
In addition to honoring the 2025 Legacy Awards Class, WiCT is debuting a new accolade: the Technical Excellence Award, spotlighting innovation and leadership in technical disciplines.
“This year’s honorees exemplify the outstanding contributions women are making across every corner of our industry,” says Carol Campbell, founder of Women in Consumer Technology.
“We’re thrilled to bring this celebration to the CEDIA Expo stage, giving our honorees the recognition they deserve among industry peers and pioneers.”
