Electronic House Expo Announces New Opportunities Show

EHX Spring 2010 to be produced by industry-leading CE Pro Magazine

Framingham, MA – November 19, 2009 – Electronic House Expo (EHX) announced today the official launch of EHX Spring 2010: The New Opportunities Show, being held March 25-27, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. EHX Spring 2010, produced by CE Pro Magazine, is delivering on its goal of a one-of-a-kind event experience which will lead custom electronic professionals toward the new growth opportunities being created in the changing economy.

For 15 years, CE Pro Magazine and CEPro.com have been the first to deliver the latest and most important business developments, technical guidance, resources, news, and current events in the industry. With over 200,000 readers a month, CE Pro is the leading source for news and information in the custom electronics industry. EHX Spring 2010 is produced by the same voices behind CE Pro to bring together the innovation, creativity, skills, and real-life experiences of custom electronics integrators across the country.

EHX and CE Pro have listened to the needs, concerns, and wishes of thousands of custom electronics professionals and understand how hard custom integration companies have been hit over the past two years. In response, EHX Spring 2010 is presenting opportunities in seven growth markets:

Home Health Tech
Smart Energy
Commercial
Retrofit
Recurring Revenue
Digital Media
Custom Electronics

"Over the years CE Pro has been at the forefront of the next big thing in custom electronics, and EHX Spring 2010 is no different," said Jason Knott, CE Pro Editor-in-Chief. "These new growth opportunities will change the CE industry, and those who attend EHX will stay one step ahead of their competition with the knowledge and experience they gain in Orlando. If you can choose just one event in 2010, EHX Spring is the most important to attend."

EHX Spring 2010 is providing attendees with the critical information they need to capitalize on the lucrative growth opportunities, making it “The Most Important Event Ever.” New for 2010, the All-Inclusive New Opportunities Pass grants attendees access to the entire event, no longer limited to just the Expo Floor. This pass includes:

CEDIA University: CEDIA has hand-selected 18 of the most critical courses to the CE industry. Attendees will choose from this customized selection of CEDIA training courses and certification opportunities while earning up to 46 CEUs.

CE Pro Super Sessions: Attendees will journey inside each of the growth markets individually, exploring business models, emerging technologies, new applications, lead generation, target profit margins and what it takes to succeed. Led by CE Pro’s most experienced editors, these sessions will offer a total picture of what success looks like.

Dealer-to-Dealer (D2D) Panels: Panels of experienced integrators will share their first-hand experiences working in each of the growth markets. Attendees will have their own questions answered during the Office Hours Q&A sessions immediately following the D2D Panels. Located at CE Pro Headquarters at the heart of the Expo Floor, attendees can learn from 30+ sessions happening throughout EHX.

Enhanced Expo Floor: In addition to 200+ leading companies showcasing their products and services, EHX has added even more value to the Expo Floor.
