Pittsburgh, PA – October 29, 2018 – This November, the 12 PowerHouse Alliance distributor members announce over 20 events and training sessions for dealers to take advantage of to learn the latest in automation, AV and security, ahead of the holiday selling season.
At Pioneer Music Company’s Sony Roadshow, dealers and integrators can attend breakfast and a three-hour training session on the latest Sony Master Series TVs, new projectors, and ES AV Receivers. The event will stop at its Chesterfield, MO, Overland Park, KS, Omaha, NE, and Grimes, IA locations, from November 13 through 16, featuring special guests Inneos and Brilliant.
According to Parks Associates, consumers are struggling with rising technical issues brought on by DIY smart home devices. This struggle opens up opportunities for the professionally installed smart home, and thus dealers must stay on top of the latest brands, products, and installation best practices for home automation.
