Departing CEDIA Trade Show Director To Join The National Systems Contractors Association While Maintaining Responsibilities for CEDIA’s International Shows
Indianapolis, Ind. – The National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) announces the addition of Patty Voss as director of trade shows.
Voss previously served in the same role for the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) and will continue to provide cooperative support for both organizations through her lead role with the 2005 Integrated Systems events in Europe, Asia and China, a partnership between CEDIA and NSCA.
A veteran trade show executive, Voss has assumed a professional staff position with NSCA. She manages operations for NSCA’s Systems Integration Expo®, including the event’s four technology pavilions and accompanying education offerings, exhibitor services and vendor relations.
“Voss and her talents will be missed. However, we support her need to return to Iowa. We are pleased to be able to continue to avail CEDIA of her superior skills in the trade show industry through our international shows. CEDIA and NSCA have a history of working together and we are glad this will continue,” said Billilynne Keller, executive director of CEDIA.
“NSCA is pleased to be in the position of extending Patty’s trade show expertise to the members of NSCA and the attendees of the Systems Integration Expo. We also look forward to continuing our strong working relationship with CEDIA,” said Chuck Wilson, executive director of NSCA.
A graduate of Colgate University, Voss has supervised large and small events for clients including national and international corporate meetings, conventions, trade shows and assorted industry functions.
In 2003, CEDIA, NSCA and the International Communications Industries Association, Inc.‚ (ICIA/InfoComm‚) joined forces to launch joint trade shows in Europe and China.

Following its successful launch in May 2004, Integrated Systems China will return to China in April 2005 at the Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Centre in Shanghai. The 2005 Integrated Systems Europe Exhibition and Conference is scheduled for Jan. 26-28, 2005, at the RAI Centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
