CEDIA EXPO Increases Ranking in Trade Show Executive Magazine’s Gold 100
CEDIA EXPO 2010 recognized to be among the most significant tradeshows in the U.S.
INDIANAPOLIS (November 17, 2011)—The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) EXPO was honored by Trade Show Executive magazine as one of 100 shows that set the gold standard for the exposition industry. CEDIA EXPO was recently recognized as one of the largest shows of 2010 at Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100 Awards Gala & Summit.
Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100 awards recognize the year’s largest tradeshows as measured in square footage, economic contribution, innovation and green initiatives. CEDIA EXPO increased its ranking from number 57 for the 2009 show to number 45 for 2010.
CEDIA EXPO, held annually since 1991, is the residential electronic systems industry’s premier event for new products, education and networking. CEDIA EXPO 2010 included 453 total exhibitors, an increase of 6% over 2009. Of those exhibitors, 90 were making their first appearance at CEDIA EXPO. Attendance held steady with modest growth from 2009-2010. Nearly 20% of attendees were first-time visitors to CEDIA EXPO.
“Being recognized as a top performer within the tradeshow industry puts CEDIA in great company,” said Utz Baldwin CEDIA CEO. “Our elevated rank among the Gold 100 indicates that CEDIA EXPO continues to strengthen its position as the hub of business development, training, and networking in the residential electronic systems industry."
CEDIA EXPO 2012 will be held at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis Sept. 5–8, 2012. More information about the event is available at www.cedia.org/expo.
