CEDIA Management Conference Experience Inspires Electronic Systems Professionals to Build Better Businesses

Now in its ninth year, CEDIA Management Conference has earned a reputation for being a watershed event in the course of hundreds of residential electronic systems careers and businesses. According to Buzz Delano, chairman of the 2008 Management Conference, no other event offers such relevant, immediately implementable strategies for building a better residential electronic systems business.

“The testimonials we have accumulated from just last year’s event are enough to convince industry professionals that attending CEDIA Management Conference is the best way to grow their businesses and increase profits,” Delano said. “And this year we further improved Management Conference with more idea-provoking strategic management forums than ever before, a very timely panel discussion on ‘future technologies,’ and speakers and presenters who are at the top of their games.”

The Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) invites owners and management of all levels from both member and nonmember companies to attend the 2008 CEDIA Management Conference. It will be held February 27-March 1, 2008, at the Paradise Point Resort and Spa in San Diego, Calif. Online registration will begin today, November 14, 2007. Discounted early bird registration deadline is January 30, 2008.

“One big difference about this year’s event is we strongly recommend that chief executives and senior managers bring their key middle managers with them,” Delano said. “There are so many innovative strategies shared at CEDIA Management Conference that it is easier to implement them if more than one person from the company returns with the energy and motivation from the event.”
