The four educational sessions comprise:

OneAV: The Future of Communication and Smart Infrastructure
Changes in OFCOM regulations and new technologies mean that integrators can offer more services than ever. This talk will discuss recent changes in regulations and how they impact the CI industry, what services and technologies they can now offer to the end user, and how we can effectively design infrastructure to accommodate current and future technologies. The discussion will also cover the 5G rollout and its impact on the industry as a whole.

L-Acoustics: The Theory and Application for Multichannel Audio Designs
Many audio manufacturers now offer a range of point-sources, line-sources, or column speakers for residential applications. This session will offer a theoretical refresher on their main differences in terms of acoustic behaviour and their application in the context of a residential multichannel user-c. Attendees will also look at the practical guidelines to select the right speaker type for the right application for the job

Blustream: The Evolution of Technology in Video Distribution
This session looks the competing video distribution technologies that are on the market today, what has become available recently, and what will be available in the future.

AWE: Home Cinema Projector Technologies
Home cinema remains an integral part of business for many integrators. However, it’s a fast-moving space that’s increasingly subject to marketing hype and potentially misleading product claims. AWE will take a close look at 1080, 4K, and 8K projectors and explain the differences between native 4K and 4K pixel shift, and the relative merits of lamp and laser projection technology.

Attendees will conclude their Tech Summit experience with a networking event, courtesy of Samsung, who will be hosting a reception from 17:00 at the Samsung KX experience space in Coal Drops Yard, London.

Kris Hogg, European Business Manager for Samsung: “We are proud to be hosting the CEDIA Tech Summit reception at our incredible Kings Cross Experience Centre. Attendees are welcome to join Samsung and CEDIA staff after the Tech Summit for drinks and nibbles. You will be able to experience the best that Samsung has to offer, not just in The Wall’s next-generation display technology, but across the whole Samsung range, whilst networking with your industry peers. It promises to be a great event!”
