CEDIA opening keynote by Luke Williams

FISHERS, Ind. (April 17, 2019) – Today CEDIA has announced that Luke Williams, NYU professor and author of the international bestseller, Disrupt: Think the Unthinkable to Spark Transformation in Your Business, will deliver this year’s CEDIA Expo Opening Keynote.

CEDIA Expo attendees can expect Williams to focus on how to tap into the disruptive mindset to differentiate their company.

“Companies need to be consistently making bold moves, even at the very peak of their success. It is an essential skill for anyone in business, from a small start-up to a global corporation,” said Williams.

Tabatha O’Connor, CEDIA President, and CEO adds “Those working in the CEDIA channel are constant managers of change – but
looking at how to harness the power of disruption is a new skill set that every company needs to adapt to stay ahead of the curve and to ultimately be successful.”

Berkley Innovation Labs; and a Fellow at Frog Design — one of the world’s most influential product strategy and design firms. Williams is the inventor of 30-plus U.S. patents and has designed more than 100 products in industries ranging from transportation to finance, and healthcare to consumer electronics.

He has also worked with leading companies across the globe and is a dynamic and sought-after management speaker, having lectured in 21 countries and addressed the United Nations General Assembly and the World Innovation Forum.
