The program will cover emerging trends in areas such as lighting, digital signage, security, unified communications, and the future of workplaces. It aims to provide insights and strategies to drive growth and profitability in the AV industry. Through sessions led by industry experts, attendees will gain knowledge and tools to navigate and thrive in the evolving AV industry, fostering meaningful conversations about its future.

Commercial Integrator Expo, a full-featured exposition and conference addressing the needs of today’s fixed installation audiovisual systems professionals and technology managers, announces an all-new educational program for Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX) 2024. Designed for audiovisual systems professionals and technology managers in corporate, higher education, hospitality, retail and light commercial market settings, the CIX Conference will offer over 20 sessions designed to inspire professionals, focusing on emerging trends in lighting, digital signage, security and unified communications, new revenue opportunities and the future of workplaces.

The CIX Conference will empower participants to discover innovative strategies and business models that drive growth and profitability. Additionally, the evolving landscape of workplace environments, higher education facilities and light commercial settings, and the technologies shaping their future will be explored in depth. Industry subject matter experts, including Colin Birney, David Danto, Dan Ferrisi, Gary Kayye, Kevin Kieller, Chris Neto, Randy Tritz, Amelia Vrabel and many others, will provide insights into emerging collaboration technology, commercial lighting design, security integration trends, and techniques for enhancing connectivity in remote and hybrid environments.

A few highlights of the CIX Conference’s educational programming include:

– Attendees can join Jimmie Singleton, Business Development Manager, SLED, AVI-SPL, to explore building immersive classroom environments that boost student engagement and enrollment. They will learn how VR, projection mapping and virtual production transform learning spaces beyond traditional classrooms, and discover practical strategies, not sales pitches, for modernizing education.

– A successful workspace must balance the needs of people who want to work from different locations. The solution involves human-centered design thinking and technology, and it will be up to AV, UCC, and digital signage technologists to create this solution. In this session, Gary Kayye, Co-Founder of THE rAVe Agency takes the audience on a journey of how to achieve this balance effectively.

– Join industry expert Mike White, Principal, AV Maven, for his session, “Digital Signage for the Rest of Us!” While others chase retail digital signage installations, this session focuses on making money by selling digital signage in verticals perfect for everyone else. Attendees with an interest in doing digital signage right the first time, creating recurring revenue for their company, or are tired of selling boxes with diminishing margins won’t want to miss this session.

– Attendees can join Steph Beckett, Managing Editor, from rAVe [PUBS] and a panel of leading manufacturers and experts for “What’s Next in Commercial Lighting Trends?” The industry experts will discuss the current state of commercial lighting and what’s next. Attendees won’t want to miss this session, where they’ll discover new trends and learn how to incorporate them to enhance their revenue stream.

“The CIX Conference is designed to provide industry professionals with the knowledge and tools to navigate and thrive in an evolving industry,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald. “This year’s sessions address new challenges and opportunities, providing attendees with actionable insights and innovative strategies. We are excited to bring together industry leaders to share their expertise and drive meaningful conversations about the future of audiovisual systems in our work and business environments.”
