Indianapolis, Ind. – Members of the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) Government Affairs team will participate in the State Government Affairs Council (SGAC) Foundation 2005 Leaders’ Policy Conference (LPC). The conference will be held Nov. 19-22 in Miami Beach, Fla. and will focus on current topics and policy issues facing government leaders and businesses in the United States.

At the conference, CEDIA Government Affairs members will have the opportunity to meet state legislators and discuss the interests of CEDIA members as well as the current and future use of technology in residential homes.
