Garner, NC – March 24, 2015 – 21st Century Distributing, the premier consumer electronics distributor serving the Southeast, announced today the schedule for their first-ever mobile demo, Integration Innovation Roadshow, which will hit six major regional cities before concluding with an exhibition at the Electronic Security Expo (ESX).
“Each year we look forward to reconnecting with customers, while providing value-added resources that truly help our dealers and specialty professionals improve and organically grow their businesses,” said Don Vincini, Owner of 21st Century Distributing. “The Integration Innovation Roadshow is taking this mission to a whole new level. Alongside the ability to share exciting new products and inventive installation techniques, this tour will provide the perfect atmosphere for a genuine discussion surrounding the benefits presented by the smart home and IoT – a major growth opportunity for the channel.”
Beginning in May, the 21st Century Distributing team will take to the streets, alongside a specially-constructed demo station, that will serve up a comprehensive look at some of the hottest products and tech solutions shaping the CE marketplace. Consisting of ten, 4’x8′ interactive side panels, the mobile demo unit will showcase a number of devices from key vendors including: Diamond Sponsors Vanco and CoreBrands as well as secondary sponsors 2GIG, Alarm.com, Elk, JVC, Kwikset, LiftMaster, Milestone, New Leaf Warranties, ProMounts, Resolution Products, RTI and Sonance. Together, the brands form a valuable ecosystem, while providing attendees with some valuable face time with major manufacturers. Most importantly, attendees will have the opportunity to test and handle the products first-hand, exploring their interoperability and uncovering new opportunities to supplement and bolster businesses.
In an effort to enhance the dealer experience, 21st Century Distributing adjusted show hours and added a cocktail networking session to conclude each event. Demos will run from 2PM to 7PM EST each day, followed by the cocktail hour from 7PM to 9PM EST, allowing local dealers the flexibility to attend when it is most convenient to their schedules.
