Recently, Poppy Crum was the keynote speaker at the 2021 CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana. If you were able to make the show, you had an opportunity to watch her keynote address. If not, this podcast dives deep into a previous CEDIA podcast where we interviewed Poppy before the CEDIA Expo. Turns out that story telling is deep, very deep. We've sliced and diced that podcast to bring you this one that will dive into subjects such as standards, creative intent, XR, haptics, wellness, empathetic technology, data gathering, personalization, sensors, deep fakes, and biometrics.
Join Walt Zerbe (CEDIA), Randy Reece (Draper), Ben Aymami (American Lighting), Dennis Erskine (The Erskine Group), Tom Doherty (HTSA), and Steven Rissi (CEDIA) as we talk about our experiences during the second day of exposition at the 2021 CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis Indiana.

Much like the interest in home technology integration for many of us, our pastimes can grow into deeper interests and even build business.
