Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside the CEDIA Expo Education Conference with Jeff Mery and Shawn Hansson
Q: What role do relationships play at Expo according to your experiences?
Relationships matter beyond individual interactions; cultivating connections with people from different companies helps broaden one's network and brings ongoing support when challenges arise, which is why teams are encouraged to attend together and engage with partners and manufacturers.
Inside the CEDIA Expo Education Conference with Jeff Mery and Shawn Hansson
Q: How do you choose which sessions your team attends?
Attendance is driven by tenure, direct manager review, and alignment with core values; teams are selected to maximize learning impact, with some staff shadowing longer-tenured colleagues to fill knowledge gaps, especially in areas like network security and advanced integration.
Inside the CEDIA Expo Education Conference with Jeff Mery and Shawn Hansson
Q: What sessions are Jeff and Shawn most excited about at the Expo?
Jeff is particularly looking forward to the RP32 workshop and its hands-on approach to validating system performance after the RP22 framework, while Shawn highlights the broader track options, including lighting and the opportunity to interact with manufacturers for practical, real-world insight.
Reframing the Smart Home Conversation
Q: What would you tell homeowners who are unsure where to start with smart home tech?
Start with a solid IT foundation, then add entry-level devices; work with trusted professionals, and prioritize collaboration with your design team to ensure it enhances life rather than complicates it.
Reframing the Smart Home Conversation
Q: Kate, before today, who did you think Smart Home Technology was for?
She believed it was perceived as a luxury for the wealthy, and argued that with thoughtful design and the right guidance, smart tech can be integrated into more modest homes and spaces that are not modern glass boxes.
