1989
CEDIA was founded in 1989 by a group of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the up-and-coming electronic systems industry. Their vision was to advocate the needs of the home technology professional by becoming the leading resource, promoting commerce, offering training, and aiding in the assembly of a legitimate industry that was at the time considered more of a hobby.
Growing the industry
CEDIA has advanced the industry by developing timely industry education and certification, launching research initiatives, advocacy on legislative issues, building relationships with architects, builders, and interior designers, educating the consumer, and recognizing industry achievement.
Present
Over the years, CEDIA has grown into an international association with nearly 4,300 members worldwide and has come to be recognized as the universal mark of professionalism for industry businesses.
The integrated systems industry is made up of companies that design, manufacture, install, integrate, and automate smart home and intelligent building products, systems, and services. Industry professionals are experts in a wide range of disciplines such as audio/video, networking, telecommunications, lighting, system control and integration, user interfaces, and surveillance and security systems. These professionals have specialized skills that include but are not limited to, computer programming, systems interfacing, acoustical theory, and video calibration that enable them to integrate and program a wide variety of technology systems so all components seamlessly work together. Systems integration professionals are essentially the composers of lifestyle technology experiences, with residential system integrators primarily working in home-based environments and commercial system integrators primarily working in business-based environments.
