CEDIA® is set to take its training, networking and insightful discussions across
South Africa from the 21st-26th October this year. Stopping in Cape Town,
Johannesburg and Durban, CEDIA members and non-members are invited to attend
the carefully curated programme of manufacturer product training, CEDIA
workshops, industry discussions, and networking events throughout each day.
CEDIA members, ELAN Systems, iLed, Kordz, Sphere Custom and TrendyStuff are
the event sponsors and will provide a variety of product training sessions, specific
to their products and services.
ELAN solutions will explore HDMI, EDID and HPD in its session “HDMI – It’s Under
Control,’ whilst TrendyStuff will discuss the rise and application of window
coverings. Distributor, iLed will present its latest technologies such as its innovative
eZi Home Solution, whilst Kordz will explore HDMI 2.0b, HDCP, HDR, chroma
subsampling, deep colour and Rec. 2020. Sphere Custom will impart its wisdom on
sales techniques, design, products and decor tricks to succeed in the home
technology realm.
“CEDIA is committed in its efforts to grow the home technology market in South
Africa and to provide its members with relevant training,’ says Wendy Griffiths,
Executive Director of CEDIA EMEA. “It is very important that CEDIA remains
dedicated to developing high levels of knowledge and skills in locations where
membership continues to grow.’
Also integrated into the road show are CEDIA’s most popular workshops, which will
be presented by industry experts Peter Aylett, Christiaan Beukes and Craig Potter.
These courses include the renowned Future Technologies: The Silicon Valley Scoop,
Advanced Home Cinema Design, Residential Networking and an exam session for its
respective certification.
CEDIA will also host its leading CPD session “Designing Integrated Future-Ready
Homes’ in Johannesburg on Monday 24th October, 17:00 – 18.30. This RIBA, BIID
and RIAI accredited CPD is aimed at architects and interior designers who are
looking to understand the basics of smart home technology and how this can be
achieved without detracting from the properties design.
Following a day of training and workshops, home technology professionals, as well
as design professionals who attend the CPD, will have the opportunity to network
with the day’s presenters and fellow peers at CEDIA’s popular Connect networking
event.
