]]>Expanded market and product scope, enhanced focus on education and national promotion plan using EH Publishing media assets will drive growth of award-winning event.
FRAMINGHAM, MA – DECEMBER 7, 2011 – Following on the announcement of his return to EH as managing director of EH Events, John Galante presented the concepts upon which the twelve-year-old EHX has been re-engineered to a group of industry leading suppliers and integrators at the CE Pro 100 Summit last month in Miami, FL. Galante related the history of the EHX event show series, how its focus on new residential construction created first a boom and then bust cycle for EHX and finally how the event now has been positioned for strong, sustainable growth as a more uniquely differentiated event.
Key to EHX is its new crossroads concept which recognizes the trend of today’s systems integrators exploring new markets and new products and technologies to grow their businesses.
Integrators are increasingly looking across a broad expanse of products in categories including:
Integrators are also looking for business in a host of markets, so, in addition to providing education and exhibits relevant for the new and existing home market, EHX will cover commercial markets like:
To help them master both new product and market proficiencies, integrators are looking for an event that provides top technical and business education at reasonable price points and a means of connecting with manufacturers, distributors and service providers across the full product scope—exactly the feature set EHX has in place for 2012 and beyond.
The resources EHX will tap to pull this off include those of three EH Publishing print and online media brands, including:
• CE Pro – focusing on the residential integrator – 45,000 print readers, 15,000 e-news readers, 1 million+ website page views per month
• Channel Pro – focusing on the SMB reseller/systems integrator – 30,000 print readers, 50,000 e-news readers, 650,000+ website page views per month
• Commercial Integrator – focusing on commercial systems integrator and specifiers – 25,000 print readers, 10,000 e-news subscribers, almost 100,000 website page views per month
EHX also has training agreements in place or pending with a number of leading industry organizations to deliver the best education, including:
• CEDIA – residential technologies and integration
• CompTIA – IT technologies and integration
• NSCA – commercial technologies and integration
• AAF – security and life safety technologies
“We’re getting a warm reception to the re-engineered EHX,” said Galante after this presentation in Miami. “Both the top integrators and suppliers we spoke with see the good sense of our new scope. They also now better understand the awesome resources EH has at hand to execute the concept. I’m confident we’re headed toward award-winning growth and eventually toward 10,000 attendee/100,000 square feet sizing as well as national and even Pan-American attendee drawing power.”
