Powered by the NKBA, Design+Connection themed programs
debuted at CEDIA Expo 2018 with the much-talked-about
Design+Connection tour series, the Design+Connection Pavilion
and the Bourbon & Brownies networking event.
Leading design-focused organizations including the National
Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), the International Interior
Design Association (IIDA), and the American Society of Interior
Designers (ASID) also reaped the benefits of the show's
emphasis on establishing connections.
"The invaluable connections and partnerships made at CEDIA
Expo will leave a lasting impression on the design community,"
says Suzie Williford, NKBA's executive vice president of industry
relations & CSO. "We encourage designers to integrate
technology into their designed spaces in order to meet the
demands of the modern client, and this show provided the perfect
forum for designers, architects, and integrator collaboration."
