MELVILLE, N.Y. – ADI recently announced Control4 NEXT, a three-day education and training conference created for Control4 certified technicians.

As part of ADI’s “continued investment in the long-term success of the Control4 platform and its authorized dealer community,” the event will provide attendees with “advanced technical education, hands-on product training, and direct access to the teams shaping the future of Control4,” according to the announcement.

Scheduled for Oct. 20-22 in San Antonio, Texas, Control4 NEXT “reflects ADI’s continued commitment to innovation, technical excellence and customer success,” the announcement says.

Designed to become an annual gathering for the Control4 professional community, the conference “will bring together advanced training, direct collaboration with engineering and product teams, and advanced previews of future innovations across the Control4 platform,” according to the announcement.

More than a training event, Control4 NEXT is “designed to strengthen connections across the Control4 ecosystem, giving integrators an opportunity to learn, collaborate, share best practices and explore new opportunities for business growth,” the announcement says.

“The strength of the Control4 ecosystem has always come from the expertise of our authorized dealers, and our commitment to their success has never been stronger,” says Allie Copeland, senior vice president and chief operating officer at ADI, in the company announcement.

“As technology continues to transform the way people live and interact with their homes, we see a tremendous opportunity ahead for our customers,” she says. “Control4 Next reflects our commitment to helping our customers stay at the forefront of technology, build strong businesses and create exceptional experiences for their customers.”

Since Control4 became part of ADI in 2019, the company “has continued to strengthen the ecosystem through investments in platform innovation, including the X4 Operating System, Lux Lighting, Vibrant Lighting and T5 In-Wall Touchscreens and other innovations,” according to the company announcement.

ADI has also expanded recurring revenue opportunities through Control4 Connect and Assist, enhanced education through its Control4 Certified Technician (C4CT) program, invested in certification and showroom initiatives and broadened interoperability across the connected home ecosystem, the announcement says.
