CANADA REGIONAL

The 2005 CEDIA Canada Regional was held June 3-6, 2005, in Toronto, Ontario. There was a variety of events and great opportunities for old pros in the industry, as well as those just starting out, to improve their skills.

The event started with full-day workshops on Friday, followed by two days of certification review and exams on June 4-5. The event wrapped up on Monday with CEDIA University Seminars and Core Curriculum courses. In addition, free Static and Active Manufacturer Product Training was provided.

A new addition to the program this year was the Installer Level I exam administered in French to better suit the majority of attendees. Also, Positive Marketing AV sponsored a casino night on Sunday, June 5.
