Take advantage of this opportunity to get the answers and advise on these important topics by attending CEDIA "Gateway" at CEDIA EXPO.


Boot Camp— Geared to those new to the industry

A few years ago, CEDIA introduced the first industry Boot Camp, and again we will be offering the most comprehensive two-day training event available for new people to this field.

Boot Camp offers a progressive mix of short lectures followed up with hands-on workshops, reviews and finally a test. Included are key concepts, definitions, techniques and procedures. "Camp" is taught by many of CEDIA’s popular instructors and our industry’s most experienced installers. Multiple instructors are present for each workshop to afford each attendee individual attention.
