I caught up with Jason McGraw, group vice president of CEDIA Expo and Commercial Integrator Expo, to preview this year’s shows in Denver, Sept. 4–6 (with education starting Sept. 3). Jason walked me through what attendees can expect — from the trends shaping both residential and commercial AV to education highlights and key show floor themes. If you’re planning to attend, don’t forget you can register with the code “RAVE25” for free show floor access.
