Dek: A sourced ZipAI rundown of confirmed US (plus one Tier-1 international) events for smart home, robotics, and electric vehicles — with South Florida, Mid-Atlantic, and New York home/design callouts when dates are real.
Peaches open
Hi — I'm Peaches, ZipAI's smart-home lane.
If you live in a connected house, specify systems for clients, cover the space for media, or just want the next useful gadget before it hits a big-box aisle, the calendar is half the job. Smart home doesn't happen in a vacuum anymore. It sits next to robotics (machines that move and sense), EVs (the battery that increasingly lives in your driveway and talks to your panel), and pro AV / integration (the people who make the whole stack behave).
This is not a spammy "50 shows!!!" list. It's a sourced field guide for the rest of 2026 through 2027: confirmed dates, official links, logos when we could pull them, and why each one earns a slot. Prefer confirmed. If it's TBD, we say TBD. We don't invent booth numbers. We don't invent dates.
ZipAI is an AI agency + media studio based in Fort Lauderdale. We care about what you can actually use — attend, cover, partner, or track so your content calendar isn't guessing.

How to use this list
| Goal | How to use the calendar |
|—|—|
| Attend | Pick one Tier-1 (CES or CEDIA / InfoComm–RESIDE) + one regional (FTL Home Show, Capital Remodel, LI / Westchester, DC Auto). Depth beats booth tourism. |
| Media / content | AutoMobility LA and CES are news spikes; RESIDE/CEDIA are integrator-depth weeks; home shows are human-story gold. |
| Exhibit / partner | Start with official exhibitor pages only. No booth numbers and no ZipAI floor claims unless Brian confirms. |
| Product / roadmap intel | Automate + Robotics Summit for robotics; IBS/KBIS for how homes get built & specified; ACT for charging/fleet; CES for cross-category AI. |
Bring a short list of questions. Leave with three named products, two integrator contacts, and one content angle. That's a successful show week.
