CEDIA will be presenting its RIBA accredited CPD course ‘Designing Integrated Future-Ready Homes’ during the event as part of the exhibition’s conference programme. The course is a customised CPD course from CEDIA that offers architects, interior designers, specifiers, developers and other trade professionals the chance to gain a comprehensive and clear understanding of the key concepts behind audio-visual, lighting, security, HVAC, blind control and other technologies in the home, their integration and the structured wiring solutions required for all these applications.

Founded in 1989 in the United States, CEDIA came to the UK in 1996 and today CEDIA Region 1 boasts over 420 members in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, India and Africa.
