The Launchpad at CEDIA Expo to Highlight New and Innovative Companies
CEDIA Expo 2022 is bringing back The Launchpad, a platform for new companies to introduce their brands and technologies to the residential tech industry. The Launchpad is designed to highlight brands that have been in business for less than three years and have never exhibited at CEDIA Expo.
“The Launchpad has provided a platform to introduce our cyber security protection product for IoT devices,” said Kelly Ryan, director of business development for guardDog.ai, whose company won The Launchpad TechStarter competition during CEDIA Expo 2021. “It was amazing to launch our product on the same stage as Microsoft, Cisco, and many others. The Launchpad and the Propel program through CEDIA were the best we could have done to launch our product in the home automation sector.”
Current brands participating in The Launchpad at CEDIA Expo 2022 include: Adaptive Design Group, Airthings, Alarm Monitoring Services, BrightVault, Broadfield Distributing, Citistar Design & Technology Co, Deep Innovations, Eufy Security, EverLights ,Hide-a-Trim, iDview, IFP Connect, Innovo, Juke Audio, Open Launch, Orro, PantryOn, PerfTech, RouterBox, and Untwisted Tech.
“We recognize that new companies need the opportunity to gain exposure to catapult their brands in the marketplace,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for CEDIA Expo and KBIS, Emerald. “The Launchpad is designed to highlight new brands and innovations and provide them with unparalleled publicity and an opportunity to engage with integrators, reps, and distributors in the industry. We are excited to welcome these new companies to CEDIA Expo, the largest event for the channel in North America.”
CEDIA Expo says The Launchpad has been a “pivotal platform for companies to launch their brands and gain exposure to the custom installation community”. A few of today’s industry-leading brands—including AXIS, Domotz, Josh.ai, and HDMI Staffing—utilized The Launchpad (formerly Innovation Alley) to introduce their brands to the residential technology industry. Brands interested in joining The Launchpad can submit an application to participate.
