Denver, CO – September 2, 2025 – Award-winning interior designer and technology champion Toni Sabatino will be everywhere you look at CEDIA Expo 2025 (September 4–6 in Denver, Colorado), bringing her signature passion for design and technology to multiple high-profile appearances. Not only will she return as Master of Ceremonies to emcee the CEDIA Smart Home Awards, but she’ll also take the stage as a panelist, host in-booth presentations, and connect with industry peers at key events throughout the show.

Back at the Podium for the CEDIA Awards
Following her CEDIA Awards debut in 2024, Sabatino returns to emcee the CEDIA Smart Home Awards for the Americas during CEDIA Expo, where she will once again shine a spotlight on the most innovative, collaborative, and technically exceptional projects, products, innovations, and individuals in the residential technology community.
