Joining us for the news and roasting is President of Southtown AV Heather Sidorowicz, Software Development Manager for BlackWire Designs Seth Johnson and Managing Partner for bluesalve Avi Rosenthal.  

Emerald announces they have appointed Jason C. McGraw responsible for the oversight of CEDIA Expo as well as the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). If you’ve been around this space for a minute, this name might be familiar to you, having led InfoComm and other industry events as VP of exposition for AEM.

Looking at the factors involved and what this means for the custom installation channel.
