We really can deliver amazing events with pretty much all the sessions, formats and networking you get at a real-world one. It is bring your own coffee, but on the plus side it's also not a half mile traipse to the loo!! Attending things online is hugely more productive, saving a massive amount of time and expense. It is much more environmentally responsible (by orders of magnitude), much easier for speakers, great for exhibitors and sponsors (if you do it right!), more inclusive, more accessible... it's a pretty big list of plusses. Thing is - the other elephant on the room is that the Expo industry doesn't want you to hold your event online. It is rarely as profitable for them. Question is,... what's right for you? (Please don't say Hybrid 😱 - that's a whole other discussion. Suffice to say that trying to please everyone rarely ends well).

• 2003-2019: Before the pandemic, CEDIA Expo had relatively steady attendance, typically drawing between 18,000 to 20,000 attendees, with a peak of over 20,000 in some years. • 2020: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually, and thus there were no in-person attendance numbers. • 2021: In-person attendance resumed but was significantly impacted by lingering pandemic concerns, with just under 10,000 attendees. • 2022: Attendance saw a recovery, reaching around 11,946 attendees. • 2023: CEDIA Expo 2023 saw a further increase, attracting 12,848 industry professionals. The event’s growth was fueled by the co-location with the Commercial Integrator Expo, leading to a total of 15,541 registrants . • 2024: Denver from September 4-7, Numbers 15,200 and I think that was generous. Anyone see any concerns here?
