CEDIA updates Education offering at the 2025 EXPO

CEDIA has confirmed changes to its educational conference at the 2025 CEDIA Expo, introducing classes taught by industry leaders, including Marc Fisher, Noah Kaplan, Alex Capecelatro, Peter Aylett, Ron Callis, Ed Gilmore, and Toni Sabatino.

Amanda Wildman, an industry expert and integrator, will oversee the curation of the redesigned program in her role as a short-term paid consultant for CEDIA.

“The CEDIA Education Conference isn’t just an event - it’s a highlight of the year for smart home professionals who want to up their game. As the industry continues to evolve at lightning speed, so does our commitment to empowering integrators with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration they need to lead the charge,” said CEDIA Global President and CEO, Daryl Friedman. “I am grateful to Amanda for serving as a consultant in this assignment to reimagine 2025’s conference. She is uniquely qualified as an accomplished integrator, life-long learner and teacher, and CEDIA champion.”
