Latin America. IntegraTec's conferences for Colombia, Mexico and Brazil, managed to get important allies to join this circuit of fairs such as Supporting Show Sponsor. Among them are associations that work for the development of the industry and internationally recognized fairs.
Associations:
KNX - The Worldwide Building Automation Protocol
KNX is an open standard communication protocol for building automation. It allows devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other and work together to control and monitor building systems such as lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, security, and energy management.
"We continue to make important progress with Latin Press across the region," said Casto Canavete, KNX's International Vice President. "The recognition of being a supporting sponsor of the IntegraTEC exhibitions helps position our brand as a benchmark protocol for building automation."
IMCCA - The Industry Association for Unified Communication & Collaboration
IMCCA is a not-for-profit industry association dedicated to strengthening and growing the Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) category. It provides thought leadership, unbiased information and education to its members and the UC&C community at large and plays an important role in the UC&C industry by providing a forum for members to collaborate and share ideas, and by advocating for the interests of the industry.
"We are excited to be working with Latin Press again," said Carol Zelkin, executive director of IMCCA. "Our suppliers and board of directors recognize the importance of the Latin American market and with our support from IntegraTEC, we look forward to generating a lot of excitement for unified communications across the region."
IALD Mexico - The International Association of Lighting Designers
The International Association of Lighting Designers, IALD, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the lighting design profession worldwide. Founded in 1969, IALD has more than 1,500 members in more than 50 countries. IALD members are lighting designers who work in a variety of settings, including commercial, residential, institutional, and landscape lighting.
"Seeing how technology affects and helps our work as lighting designers is a primary concern," said Brenda Castillo, co-coordinator of the Mexico Chapter of IALD. "We returned to IntegraTEC to continue our collaboration."
ESA - The Electronic Security Association
The Electronic Security Association, ESA, is the largest trade association in the United States representing the electronic security and life protection industry. Established in 1948, the ESA provides technical and management training, government advocacy, and provides information, advice, tools, and services that members use to grow their businesses and thrive.
"We look forward to exploring the opportunities offered by IntegraTEC and Latin Press," said Jillian Bateman, ESA's Chief Operating Officer. "It's a first step for us in Latin America to learn about the systems integration business and eventually offer our different certifications and trainings."
International Conferences:
CEDIA Expo is the world's leading trade fair for the residential technology industry. It's where residential technology integrators, designers, and construction professionals come together to discover new products, interact with exhibitors, collaborate with peers, and gain valuable education.
Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX) is a three-day trade show and conference focused on the trade integration industry. It is co-located with CEDIA Expo, the world's leading trade show for the residential technology industry.
"We are pleased to expand our partnership with Latin Press for CEDIA Expo and Commercial Integrator Expo," said Jason McGraw, group vice president of Emerald, organizer of both fairs. "As we join IntegraTEC as supporting sponsors of the show, Latin Press will simultaneously amplify CEDIA Expo and Commercial Integrator Expo by sharing news, trends and ideas with its subscribers, attendees and members of the ConsorcioTec industry buyer group."
In 2023, the IntegraTec fairs in Mexico and Colombia were supported by ICREA, the International Computer Room Experts Association, the international association formed by engineers specialized in the design, construction, operation, administration, maintenance, acquisition, installation and audit of computer centers.
Verónica Marín, Project Manager of the IntegraTec fairs, pointed out that "our objective is to strengthen our brand and event. We are convinced that the alliances we create with our Supporting Show Sponsors will be the basis for growing in collaboration and knowledge with each of the industries they represent, to continue being a benchmark in our Latin region and contribute to the development of the industries in which we have a presence."
