CEDIA Expo has announced the return of The Launchpad, a platform dedicated to showcasing new-to-market brands and the latest residential technology solutions. The Launchpad will spotlight brands that have been in business for less than three years and have never exhibited at CEDIA Expo, offering emerging companies a unique opportunity to introduce their brands and groundbreaking technologies to a diverse audience of industry professionals and influencers.
“The Launchpad offers an invaluable platform for visitors to engage directly with the founders of these pioneering companies, providing insights into their cutting-edge solutions and the inspiration behind their innovations,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald. “It’s a chance to be among the first to experience transformative new products and solutions that are set to expand the landscape of the custom installation industry.”
The Launchpad was instrumental in the debut of several leading industry brands, including AXIS, Dejero, Domotz, guardDog.ai, Josh.ai, and HDMI Staffing. These companies leveraged The Launchpad to gain crucial exposure and establish themselves within the custom installation community.
