This show was organized in 2009 by a group of manufacturer rep firms and Distributors operating in the residential custom installation technology sector. Although these firms compete in the Northern California, Nevada and Hawaii markets, they set aside their competitive differences to make this event possible. It's mutually agreed that creating a regional event for manufacturers to showcase the latest products, discuss current trends, and offer educational opportunities significantly benefits custom installers and technology specialists within the industry.

​The diverse range of brands at this event covers every conceivable category of home technology, including video, audio, networking, control automation, window treatments, and all aspects of lighting. Additionally, there may be new categories that had not been previously considered but could enhance an integrator's overall business. In simple terms, at the CI Expo, you will discover plentiful opportunities to experience and learn about something new, innovative, and potentially game-changing.
