Sept. CEDIA Is In-Person Show

CEDIA Expo returns in September in person, emailed Jason McGraw, group vice president of show owner Emerald. The 2020 Expo, planned for September in Denver, was canceled. The 2021 show is Sept. 1-3 in Indianapolis. “After months of COVID-19 pandemic meeting restrictions, vaccines are finally being distributed in mass and live events are beginning to come back safely,” McGraw said Thursday. Indianapolis hosted 58 live events with over 130,000 attendees since July, and the Indiana Convention Center invested over $7 million in health, he said. Emerald canceled 94 shows last year, leading to a 65% revenue drop (see report, Feb. 19 issue of this publication).
