September 7, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment

Welcome to the Last CEDIA-Produced Show

September 7, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment

Photo of Expo crowdAs we all gather in San Diego for our annual pilgrimage to CEDIA, it can seem like another year/another show. But this show is different – it is the last CEDIA show produced by CEDIA. A fact leading many to wonder…what does the future hold, for both the show and the organization? We’ve spoken to several members and exhibitors to learn of their mood heading into this seminal event.

See how many are feeling about this, the last CEDIA-produced show… [Read more…] about Welcome to the Last CEDIA-Produced Show

On Eve of Last CEDIA-Produced Show, Are We at a Turning Point?

August 24, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment

CEDIA sells off showWhat a weird time it is for CEDIA members. We are about to head to San Diego in a couple of weeks for the last-ever CEDIA show produced by CEDIA, after which we are losing the greatest revenue-generator for the organization…we have no CEO (just a temporary fill-in) and the reason for the previous CEO’s exit has never been explained…we have been globalized, the benefits of which to American members aren’t exactly clear…we are awaiting a new strategic plan which is being crafted by a consultant in England…and the organization is about to spend some $14 million to build a new building before we even have the strategic plan to tell us if that makes any sense.

It seems as though the organization is at some kind of a turning point. But are things turning up, or down? We talked to some leading industry executives to get their perspective on what’s going on at CEDIA.

See what some are saying about the direction of CEDIA… [Read more…] about On Eve of Last CEDIA-Produced Show, Are We at a Turning Point?

CEDIA to Pay 6-Figure Annual Tax Penalty to Build HQ in Fishers

June 15, 2017 by Ted 2 Comments

Photo of Dennis ErskineIndianapolis, IN-based CEDIA announced this week that it will build a new headquarters building in the neighboring town of Fishers, IN, after “more than 18 months of research, financial analyses, and due diligence.” This new “global headquarters” is the “best solution” as determined by the “CEDIA Board.” The announcement projected the project will cost $13.7 million.

But, the announcement did not reveal one significant additional cost… [Read more…] about CEDIA to Pay 6-Figure Annual Tax Penalty to Build HQ in Fishers

CEDIA Refuses All Strata-gee Interviews; New Process Invoked

June 15, 2017 by Ted 9 Comments

Another Troubling Hit to Transparency

cedia logoIn a disturbing sign of a further retreat from transparency, CEDIA has notified Strata-gee that it will no longer accept any interviews. This policy appears to apply only to Strata-gee, and no reason was given…at least initially.

Will this new policy inhibit Strata-gee’s ability to cover CEDIA? Read on… [Read more…] about CEDIA Refuses All Strata-gee Interviews; New Process Invoked

Readers React to Article on CEDIA Ownership

June 8, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment

CEDIA communityThere has been a strong and vocal reaction to our story posted last week in which CEDIA’s Chairman of the Board, Dennis Erskine, countered our assertion that the members owned CEDIA. Noting that the law says that non-profit organizations have no owners, the chairman corrected our assumption. He was correct, we were wrong.

However, the story caught the attention of many of our readers, including some very prominent and influential executives in the custom integration community.

We Ask CEDIA’s Chairman About Members Rights

June 8, 2017 by Ted 2 Comments

cedia logoWe asked for and participated in a telephone interview with CEDIA Chairman of the Board Dennis Erskine and Senior Director of Marketing Cris Pyle in late May to discuss several topics swirling around the organization. First and foremost, we were seeking greater insight into the departure of CEDIA’s CEO Vin Bruno, as well as Ron Fleming and others, but we also discussed a few other topics – notably what rights members have, and what rights they don’t have.

See what the CEDIA executives told us… [Read more…] about We Ask CEDIA’s Chairman About Members Rights

CEDIA Chairman Corrects Us: Members are NOT the Owners

May 31, 2017 by Ted 43 Comments

CEDIA communityShortly after our story about layoffs at CEDIA was posted, we spoke with CEDIA Board Chairman Dennis Erskine, who sought to correct what he said were some “misconceptions” presented in that article. Specifically, Erskine felt our call for more transparency from the organization was off the mark due to our misunderstanding about non-profit organizations.

See what Erskine said we got wrong and why non-profits are special… [Read more…] about CEDIA Chairman Corrects Us: Members are NOT the Owners
