ALPHARETTA, GA (April 8, 2026) — Registration is now open for CEDIA Expo/Commercial Integrator (CIX) 2026, returning to the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, September 1-4, 2026.

CEDIA Expo/CIX will bring together more than 14,000 attendees and 300+ exhibiting brands across key categories, including lighting, security, audio, video, smart home technology, and design.

Attendees will experience twenty dedicated Sound Rooms along with immersive product demonstrations, and in-depth Manufacturer Product Training sessions, creating a highly practical environment for learning, product evaluation, and connection.

Following a strong 2025 event, CEDIA Expo/CIX returns at a pivotal moment for the industry. As technologies such as AI, lighting, automation, security, and energy management become increasingly integrated across residential and commercial environments, the event serves as the central platform to discover new solutions, build partnerships, and advance technical expertise.

“We’re excited to return to Denver for another standout year,” said Jason McGraw, Group Vice President and Show Director for CEDIA Expo/CIX. “The growth in exhibitors, expanded programming, and strong industry participation reflect the importance of having a central gathering to explore new technologies, build relationships, and stay ahead of where the market is going. As custom residential and commercial systems integration continues to converge, CEDIAExpo/CIX brings the full ecosystem together in a way no other event does.”
