CEDIA Confirms Global Integration

The majority of CEDIA members vote in favour of the formal integration between CEDIA and CEDIA EMEA, confirming the association's plans to unite all global operations under a single "Better Together" umbrella.

CEDIA "Operating as one global organization is an important step for CEDIA as we seek to strengthen our global voice and influence," CEDIA CEO Vin Bruno says. "Our increased operational efficiencies will ensure that we are able to continue to deploy the resources CEDIA members need to be successful in every region."

While CEDIA HQ will be based in the US, the association will retain offices in Indianapolis and Cambridgeshire, highlighting the importance of regional benefits and connection points in local markets.

An initial integration period has a governance task force determine a slate for the 2017 global board of directors. The members should begin their positions on the global board from 1 January 2017, and at the time the board may choose to appoint up to 4 skills-based directors. The executive committee will also be determined in the new year.
