Nov 6, 2014 6:12 PM
We hear from people in the industry all the time that they didn’t realize the extensive line of benefits that come with being a CEDIA member. CEDIA membership benefits extend well beyond the main-stage event.
The Finder Service
CEDIA members are placed in the online Electronic Lifestyles Finder Service, available on CEDIA’s new consumer site (www.cedia.org). Homeowners, architects, builders, and other related trades can search for an electronic systems contractor in any area where CEDIA members do business.
CEDIA members with CEDIA-certified team members are able to utilize the functionality of the new enhanced listings feature. These listings are the perfect “first handshake” to potential clients. With the option to upload your company logo and two project images, you can put your best face forward as consumers are looking for the right company to help achieve the goals of their home technology projects.
Training Tools
