This week at CEDIA Expo, we celebrated a true visionary and leader—Rich Green—who was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award! 🎉 Since 1978, Rich has been a driving force in the AV industry, and his system integration company, Rich Green Design, has worked with some of the most innovative minds of Silicon Valley. His commitment to excellence extends far beyond his remarkable client list, which includes Steve Jobs, Luciano Pavarotti, and Larry Ellison, to name just a few. Rich’s dedication to giving back is unmatched. For over 30 years, he’s contributed countless hours to CEDIA, chairing committees, serving on the board, and guiding the next generation of industry leaders. His insights into future technologies have helped shape the smart home industry, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. As he told us all , "Please remember where we came from, and imagine where we can go." Rich, your leadership, vision, and commitment to the future have left an indelible mark on the industry. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!👏
