Commercial Integrator Expo, which CI owner Emerald owns and produces, just announced a partnership with the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA). NSCA is the Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based not-for-profit association representing the commercial-integration industry. NSCA will join Commercial Integrator Expo 2023, scheduled for September 6 through September 9, as a supporting industry-association partner. Together, the partners will deliver education opportunities, subject matter experts and a networking event for systems-integration professionals.
Per a statement, NSCA is a powerful advocate for all professionals in the integration industry. This includes systems contractors/integrators, product manufacturers, consultants and sales representatives. It also comprises architects, specifying engineers and other allied professionals. NSCA’s mission is to raise the level of competency in the industry through regular educational programs. At Commercial Integrator Expo 2023, NSCA will provide systems integration business education sessions. It will also have networking opportunities for attendees designed to empower and grow their businesses.
Joining Hands Once Again
This is not the first collaboration between Emerald and NSCA. Since 2011, the trade association has worked with Commercial Integrator on the annual State of the Industry survey, report and webinar. The groups are well aligned in their focus on helping innovative integration companies to achieve business success.
“NSCA is committed to the advancement of the systems integration industry through sharing and creating best practices, developing industry education, and forming a compelling vision of the future of this industry,” Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president and show director for Emerald, says.

We are [ecstatic] that NSCA will bring a full day of their business skills programming to Commercial Integrator Expo with an engaging networking reception. Our partnership will give attendees access to research, education and networking to accelerate their businesses forward.”
A Fruitful Partnership
“NSCA leads the industry in providing systems integrators with business education specific to the commercial-integration channel,” Tom LeBlanc, executive director of NSCA, remarks. “We are pleased to be able to partner with Commercial Integrator Expo to provide a full day of NSCA’s trusted BizSkills sessions and an industry peer networking reception. Bringing our resources and vetted trainers to present at the inaugural Commercial Integrator Expo will deliver business skills knowledge that integrators need to navigate new opportunities and thrive in the year ahead.”
Commercial Integrator Expo 2023 will feature a full day of NSCA education sessions on Sept. 6 (prior to the show opening). These sessions will center on systems-integration business skills. NSCA will also provide sessions and workshops on different topics. These include project management, finance, sales and operations skills. The audience will thus feature systems contractors/integrators, product manufacturers, consultants, sales representatives, architects, specifying engineers and other allied professionals.
The show will also provide attendees with the opportunity to forge new connections with peers and manufacturers. Moreover, they can discover new opportunities and ideas through training on new markets and emerging technology trends.
Commercial Integrator Expo is the new exposition and conference for the commercial audiovisual-integration channel and technology managers. Commercial Integrator Expo 2023 will take place in Denver, co-located with CEDIA Expo 2023.
