Cedia's Tech Council Podcast

Just about a year ago, we covered the development and deployment of 5G with industry expert John Penney. We revisited the topic with an update on where we are now in this podcast recorded with Mr. Penney on the Mainstage at ISE 2020 in Amsterdam. (A lot of myths and misunderstandings have popped up over the past 12 months, it turns out.)

Interior designer and renowned well-being expert Cinzia Moretti (Moretti Interior Design) and Jeff Hayward (Director of Wildwood PR) share their insights into Wellness and Biophilia, and the opportunities this offers to integrators. Along with hosts Walt Zerbe and Ed Wenck, the panel unpacks the solutions that can make for a better, more “human” indoor experience.

  Our last show show from ISE 2020 (and the last ISE hosted by the city of Amsterdam) includes Peter Aylett (Archimedia/HTE), Rich Green (Rich Green Design), Kris Hogg (Samsung) , and Eddie Shapiro (SmartTouchUSA). CEDIA's David Meyer also chimes in with your hosts Ed Wenck, and Walt Zerbe in a podcast recorded Friday night.

Long-time CEDIA instructor Mike Maniscalco has rolled out a pair of cybersecurity classes (one for business managers, one for technicians) to help you identify the biggest cyber threats to your clients AND your business. These classes will be offered at every 2020 Tech Summit. (Mike is also teaching a day-long workshop on the subject with Rich Green and Jeff Sonnleitner at ISE 2020.) https://www.cedia.net/events/tech-summits

From devices to providers, there are a lot of confusing combinations and acronyms out there when it comes to content. Michael Heiss (M Heiss Consulting) has been doing the legwork for you, and breaks it down in a manner that can help you ensure your clients are happy.

Non-invasive monitoring. Personalized experiences for different individuals all coming from a single display. Interfaces that can be controlled with a glance. This CES 2020 wrapup includes all that and more with Walt Zerbe from CEDIA, Mike Maniscalco (Pytheas), Rich Green (Rich Green Design), Gordon van Zuiden (cyberManor), and Christiaan Beukes (Sphere Custom).

A theme from CES 2020? From air quality control to products for the differently abled, there are more solutions for clients needs as opposed to wants.

We're starting our end-of-2019 countdown of our ten biggest episodes from the past year. Clips include chats about cabling, 5G, and maximizing your business (and profit) in a variety of ways.

We went back into the CEDIA Talks from this year’s Expo in Denver to find topics that we hadn’t covered in the podcast. We'll hear from Christiaan Beukes (Sphere Custom) on a danger to your business called “Scope Creep" AND a look at mass sensorization, Michael Heiss (M Heiss Consulting) on direct LED vs. two-piece projection, and Maurice Karagiorgos (Lutron) clears up a bunch of lighting acronyms.
