CEDIA plans 4 days' worth of seminars and courses at Home Technology Event 2011, covering what it says are all career paths within the installation sector-- from the newbie looking for technical tips to the veteran wanting business advice.
Available at CEDIA' website is a handy seminar guide, with guides to all courses and debates-- including 20 new for this year.
Installers will also be able to relive their school days even further by sitting for CEDIA certification exams at the show itself-- for Designer Level 1 and EST (Electronics Systems Technician 2).
