Monitor Audio Group Returns as Headline Sponsor of the CEDIA Smart Home Awards EMEA

25th June 2026

We're proud to announce that Monitor Audio Group will return as the headline sponsor of this year's ceremony, marking our seventh consecutive year supporting what has become one of the most important dates in the smart home industry calendar. The event takes place on 23rd October at the Natural History Museum in London, a setting that feels entirely fitting for an anniversary of this scale.

Two decades of excellence

When the first CEDIA Smart Home Awards were announced in 2006, few could have predicted what the programme would become. Today, it stands as one of the industry's most prestigious and eagerly anticipated occasions, honouring outstanding projects, products, businesses, and individuals across the EMEA region.

This year's theme, Beyond What You See, captures something we feel strongly about at Monitor Audio Group: that the most meaningful work in this industry often happens out of sight, in the engineering, the craftsmanship, and the partnerships that shape how people experience sound and connected living in their homes.

Why this year matters to us

2026 is a significant year for Monitor Audio Group. The opening of our 6,000 sq. ft. Experience Centre and Elevate Sound Performance Academy at our Rayleigh headquarters represents our most tangible commitment yet to the integrators, specifiers, and partners who bring our products to life in people's homes. It's a space designed for collaboration, discovery, and the kind of hands-on learning that changes the way professionals think about what's possible.

Returning as headline sponsor of the CEDIA Smart Home Awards sits naturally alongside that investment. Both are expressions of the same belief: that the smart home industry is built on people, and those people deserve to be recognised, supported, and celebrated.
