Duncan Wardle, Disney's former Head of Innovation & Creativity, explains why the real insight for innovation doesn't show up until the fifth or sixth "why."

In the smart home industry, it can be easy to assume clients would want the newest gear, the latest gadget, the flashiest system, but sometimes the real reason a client wants whole-home audio, or a lighting scene, or a smart security system has nothing to do with the technology itself. It's about memory, comfort, connection, and the life they're trying to create at home. The integrators who ask "why" a few extra times are the ones who design systems clients actually fall in love with, not just systems that check a spec sheet.

Want more of this thinking applied directly to our industry? Join us for Duncan's keynote, "Embed Innovation into Everyone's DNA," at CEDIA Expo Wednesday, September 2 at 8:00am.

We'll see you there!

"By 40, we'll have spent 37 years indoors."

Meet Xander Cadisch, founder of Light Tribe by Phos, where neuroscience meets design to help humans actually thrive indoors.

Lighting is usually the first thing value-engineered out of a project. Xander argues it might be the most important thing left in.

His session at CEDIA Expo, Light as a Nutrient: Rethinking Smart Homes for the Indoor Species, unpacks how light isn't just for seeing. It's biological information that shapes sleep, mood, alertness, and recovery. He'll cover circadian-aware scheduling, glare reduction, and how to build lighting systems that support human performance, not just aesthetics or energy codes.

Built for interior designers, architects, AV pros, developers and anyone who is interested in how our spaces shape our health.

See you in Denver.

The “Beside the Seaside” home cinema, delivered by Cinemaworks, transformed an unusual extension of a Victorian home on England’s south coast into a fully engineered private theater. The project balances traditional cinema styling with modern performance, featuring a 16-channel surround system, a Sony laser projector, and carefully engineered speaker placement to deliver immersive sound across two seating rows.

Working closely with the homeowners and builder, Cinemaworks also designed the room’s lighting and interior aesthetic, collaborating with Fraser Besant of Bristol to create layered lighting scenes that enhance the cinematic atmosphere.

The result? A high-performance theater that feels both timeless and personal, earning Best Home Cinema Level I at the 2025 EMEA CEDIA Smart Home Awards.

Projects like this show what’s possible when thoughtful engineering, design collaboration, and a passionate integrator come together.

The Superyacht Vertigo AV Refit, delivered by Liquid Automation, brought a fully integrated Crestron-powered control and entertainment platform to one of the world’s most sophisticated marine environments. Working closely with shipyard project managers, crew, engineers, and specialist trades during a major refit, the team rebuilt the yacht’s AV, control, and networking systems from the ground up.

The system now distributes audio and video to 20 zones across the vessel, integrates lighting, navigation data, CCTV, and communications, and even allows instant switching between private owner mode and charter mode to tailor the onboard experience for different guests. Designed, pre-built, and tested in New Zealand before installation overseas, the project demonstrates the scale, coordination, and technical precision required when integration extends far beyond the home.

The result? Winner of Technology Beyond the Home at the 2025 Asia Pacific CEDIA Smart Home Awards.

Think your team has a project that pushes the boundaries of integration? Integrator submissions for the 2026 CEDIA Smart Home Awards are now open through April 24th.

Big ideas don’t always need big spaces.

The Brentwood project, delivered by Global Wave Integration, took home Best Single Room Solution at the 2025 CEDIA Smart Home Awards. The team transformed a single media room into a fully immersive environment, combining a DCI-grade video wall, spatial audio, and human-centric lighting to support everything from movie nights to working from home.

Projects like this show what’s possible when great integration meets creative problem-solving.
