More than 26,000 attendees gather in Indianapolis for annual EXPO

The Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) has announced that more than 26,000 custom electronics professionals convened Sept. 7-11 at the Indiana Convention Center and RCA Dome in Indianapolis for CEDIA EXPO 2005. This year's overall attendance was the largest in EXPO's 16-year history.

CEDIA EXPO 2005, the only show that meets the specialized needs of the residential custom electronics industry, recorded growth of more than 1,000 attendees over last year's event. More than 500 exhibitors occupied the Indiana Convention Center and RCA Dome, as well as the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown.

"CEDIA EXPO's ongoing growth is good news for the custom electronics industry," said Billilynne Keller, executive director of CEDIA. "This year's record attendance and our many new exhibitors are signs of the growing demand in our industry for new technologies, education, and information. We're pleased we're growing and drawing more interest in our show."

CEDIA EXPO 2006 will move to the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, with show dates slated for Sept. 13-17. EXPO Education runs Sept. 13-17 and the CEDIA EXPO trade show will be open Sept. 14-17, which includes an additional day to accommodate the growing interest in EXPO specifically, as well as the broader custom electronics industry.
