CEDIA Expo/CIX PitchFest: A High-Stakes Competition
Structured as a competitive showdown, PitchFest will unfold across consecutive afternoons. Dan Ferrisi, group director of content + editorial, industrial + tech, Emerald, will serve as moderator.
A panel of industry experts — CE Pro executive editor Zachary Comeau, Michelle Ferlauto of SoundVision and Andres Klein of Maxicon — will analyze each pitch.
The format is designed to ensure audience engagement and lasting impact:
- Day 1 (Dec. 16, 2pm ET): The event will kick off with an introduction to the judging panel, followed by presentations from the first group of PitchFest presenters. Live audience voting will influence the judges as they determine the Day 1 finalist.
- Day 2 (Dec. 17, 2pm ET): The second day will feature pitches from the remaining presenters. Another round of live voting will help the judging panel determine a Day 2 finalist, followed by crowning the inaugural PitchFest champion.
