Jamie Briesemeister and Peter Cook to guide design and construction pros around CEDIA Expo show floor and exhibits.


CEDIA Expo announces the return of the Design Connection Tours and the chosen integrator tour guides. Jamie Briesemeister, CEO and co-founder of Integration Controls and Peter Cook, president and founder of Automation Design + Entertainment, Inc. will each guide a group of 20 design professionals around the CEDIA Expo show floor Sept. 13 and 14 at the Colorado Convention Center.

Briesemeister and Cook will accompany designers, architects and construction professionals to hand-selected exhibitor booths where they will learn about integrating the latest technology products into their projects and how to make connections with integrators during and following CEDIA Expo.

 

Design Connection Tours at CEDIA Expo 2019 will be guided by experts Jamie Briesemeister and Peter Cook, who will teach designers, architects and construction professionals how to integrate the latest technology products into their projects.

 

The amount of success stories we heard from our exhibitor, tour guide and designer participants in 2018 made it a no brainer to bring it back for the 2019 show,” states Brian Pagel, senior vice president, Emerald Expositions. “Jamie and Peter both have years of experience collaborating with the design community and I have no doubt they will give our partners an easy and informative introduction to CEDIA Expo.”

The Design Connection tours spark an important conversation for both designers and integrators and I am excited to be a part of this new collaboration opportunity for our industry,” says Jamie Briesemeister. “I am ready to share knowledge which I have gained through my business and CEDIA volunteer work, but I also know I will learn a great deal from our tour participants.”
