Not all the action will be indoors when CEDIA 2024 opens its doors in Denver, Colo., on September 5, 2024, with the announcement that Coastal Source, Draper At Home, Just Video Walls, and Access Networks will sponsor Destination Outdoors in an outdoor exhibit area located directly across from the Colorado Convention Center.

Covering a vast 24,000-square-foot area, Destination Outdoors will offer a look into all that’s possible for today’s outdoor living environments. The area will be adorned with grassy expanses, stylish patio furnishings, comfortable outdoor seating, and canopy tents to create the perfect backdrop for demonstrating the latest outdoor innovations.

“Together, we are thrilled to bring Destination Outdoors back to CEDIA 2024 to allow our custom installation partners to check out what’s new and exciting in outdoor technology with the unique outdoor experience these four great companies are creating,” says Coastal Source president Jeff Poggi. “This one-of-a-kind event is designed to provide a first-hand look at what is possible for today’s outdoor spaces.”

Coastal Source will showcase its new CUBE audiophile-quality outdoor subwoofer and EVO outdoor lighting fixture. In addition, the Razor hardscape speaker will demonstrate why it set new standards for innovation and installer-centric design.

Draper At Home will be showing a mix of solutions underlining the variety of ways shading helps upgrade the outdoor living experience. Products on display will include Exterior Zip Shades, Tension Zips, conventional roller shades, and exclusive and unique products from European partners.

“We love Destination Outdoors because it’s all about the experience. Once dealers see and experience our shading solutions for themselves, they will get a better understanding of how to provide that experience to their own customers,” says Clint Childress, Director of Residential Markets, Draper At Home.

Just Video Walls will exhibit a range of MicroLED displays tailored to suit the specific requirements of any outdoor entertainment area. When combined, Coastal Source, Draper At Home, Just Video Walls, and Access Networks establish a comprehensive outdoor ecosystem encompassing audio, video, lighting, shading, and networking. These technologies synergize effectively and enhance one another’s capabilities, resulting in a cohesive outdoor experience.

According to Skyler Meek, vice president of marketing at Just Video Walls, “We are excited to announce our return participation in Destination Outdoors at this year’s CEDIA in Denver in partnership with Draper At Home, Coastal Source, and Access Networks. Our showcase will feature a stunning 168-inch outdoor video wall in a 24:9 aspect ratio configuration, allowing for the simultaneous viewing of multiple sources or a single widescreen output. Additionally, we will present our full range of outdoor wall options, available in various pixel pitches and IP-rated cabinet options. These are all effortlessly configured using our intuitive 5-minute design tool, requiring no prior MicroLED knowledge. Join us to experience the future of outdoor entertainment technology.”

Access Networks will showcase its portfolio of networking solutions for both residential and commercial environments, including their newly launched Unleashed Wi-Fi 6 Access Points with native OvrC integration. Its premier B350 outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point will be on display throughout the space, as well as a part of the network operating at the event. Access Networks’ team of networking experts will be there to offer demos of products as well as discuss the benefits of services ranging from pre-configuration assistance to fully custom-designed and managed systems.

“We are thrilled to not only be a part of the Destination Outdoors event this year, but also provide the networking system for the space as well as utilizing our Core Networks service,” said Haley Patterson, director of marketing at Access Networks. “Our team is excited to share how our networking solutions improve outdoor connections and truly demonstrate the benefits of working with a team of network experts to bring experiences like these to life for their clients.”
