Authorized integrators and technicians will gather in Texas this fall for an educational conference dedicated to the Control4 smart home platform.

Hosted by distributor ADI, the inaugural Control4 NEXT conference will take place Oct. 20–22. The event is designed to become an annual gathering for the professional community, offering advanced technical instruction, hands-on product training and direct collaboration with engineering and product development teams.

Attendees will receive early previews of future platform innovations while learning best practices to expand their installation businesses. The programming aims to help technicians keep pace with shifting consumer demand for integrated home automation, lighting, security, networking and energy management systems.

Recent investments in the ecosystem include platform updates such as the X4 Operating System, new lighting lines, in-wall touchscreens and expanded recurring revenue programs through Control4 Connect and Assist.

Registration for certified technicians is currently open through the company's portal.
