CEDIA is proud to serve as a knowledge partner for the 2026 Smart Home Expo, taking place 28-30 April at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.
In its 7th year, the three-day event will bring together 450+ leading brands showcasing the latest in smart home technology, home automation, lighting technologies, audio video solutions, smart security systems, smart building solutions, and consumer electronics.
As India’s largest smart tech event for residential and commercial spaces, Smart Home Expo is the premier platform for CEDIA to connect with the professional smart home community in the region.
CEDIA will be delivering two in-depth workshops during Smart Home Expo, both of which will be led by Peter Aylett and Adam Pelz, two internationally recognized practitioners in the design, engineering, and calibration of some of the world’s best performing private cinemas.

The release of CEDIA/CTA RP22 – Immersive Audio System Design Recommended Practice marked a foundational step-change for the industry. Now widely embraced by integrators, consultants, and enthusiasts alike, it has raised the standard for immersive audio performance within private residences. This advanced workshop explores the engineering principles embodied within RP22 that underpin truly exceptional immersive audio experiences. It examines how system architecture, loudspeaker selection and placement, low-frequency design, and acoustic design interact to deliver objectively defined levels of performance and customer experience.
Participants will be introduced to objective performance targets that define different levels of immersive experience, and how these targets inform decisions across discovery, design, system engineering, specification, and calibration. The workshop follows a teach-then apply approach. Participants will work in small groups to analyse real-world rooms and develop engineering-led design responses that integrate system layout, low-frequency strategy, and acoustic considerations into a coherent performance-driven solution.
The workshop is intended for integrators, consultants, manufacturers, and design professionals who already have a solid foundation in audio and video system design.

This intensive, hands-on workshop introduces the engineering methodology and recommended procedures defined in CEDIA’s new upcoming RP-32 Audio System Measurement and Verification Recommended Practice. It focuses on the critical role of objective measurement and verification in delivering predictable, repeatable, and high-performance audio systems across both residential environments.
Participants will explore how measurement and verification form the essential bridge between design intent and realised performance. The workshop examines how to establish reliable measurement conditions, select and deploy appropriate instrumentation, and capture meaningful acoustic and electroacoustic data.
This workshop is suitable for both newer practitioners seeking to build strong measurement and verification skills, and experienced professionals who wish to formalise their workflow around Recommended Practice-based methodologies. It is relevant to integrators, consultants, manufacturers, and calibration specialists involved in the design, commissioning, and optimisation of high-performance audio systems.
