Azione Unlimited, The Smart Home Association, has announced its strategic collaboration with Elemental LED adding Lucetta Lighting to its vendor member family, and it reinforced its commitment to delivering cutting-edge products and services to its nearly 300 dealer members.
Azione Unlimited is also excited to reveal an energetic 2024 event calendar, featuring two enhanced luxury hotel offerings at their exclusive national conferences for owners and a third additional meeting for the wildly successful Leadership Symposiums that aims to elevate employees in technician, operational, and emerging leadership roles.
“For Azione Unlimited members, 2024 promises to be an exhilarating journey,” says Richard Glikes, president of Azione Unlimited. “The Lucetta Lighting partnership and our expanded event lineup reflect our commitment to elevating the industry and providing unparalleled opportunities for growth. Azione Unlimited is truly paving the way for a smarter, more connected future for all our members.”
Azione adds Lucetta Lighting
Azione Unlimited welcomes Lucetta Lighting into its family of vendor members, and the buying group says the partnership empowers members with more access points in the lighting category, offering cutting-edge products alongside current vendor members Environmental Lights, WAC, and Visual Comfort.
Lucetta engineers, manufactures, and sells high-performance linear LED lighting that work in today’s tech-enabled homes and businesses. Beyond Custom Integration, Lucetta and its sister brand Diode LED are established as low-voltage linear product lines for architectural specification, electrical distribution, and more.
2024 National Conferences: Connecting in Orlando and San Diego
Azione Unlimited has also announced that it is bringing together two national dealer owner meetings to offer members the benefits of networking with dealers, accessing educational opportunities. These free meetings include vendor 1-on-1’s, dining with dealers, small group discussions, round tables, and thought-provoking keynotes.
Set against the backdrop of the Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando this April, will offer members an unparalleled opportunity to connect, learn, and explore the latest trends in the smart home industry. Dubbed “Propagating Partnerships in Orlando,” the spring meeting will also include a casino night and a dining with dealers outing at the world-famous Disney Springs. The fall national conference is scheduled for October at the Omni in San Diego, providing an equally immersive experience for members to engage with industry leaders and stay at the forefront of smart home integration.
Leadership Symposiums: Shaping the Future
Azione Unlimited is expanding its free Leadership Symposium offering, now hosting an additional event for a total of three in 2024. These symposiums serve as strategic seminars for workforce leaders within the Azione Unlimited dealer companies to engage in collaborative discussions, share insights, and collectively shape the future of the CI industry.
The three meetings will take place at the following facilities:
- Operations meeting at Leon Speakers in Ann Arbor, Michigan
- Lead Technician at Lowell Manufacturing in St. Louis, Missouri
- Emerging Leaders at Sonance in San Clemente, California
These purpose-built events, tailored for Operations, Lead Techs, and Emerging Leaders, bring together 60 dealer companies and six vendor members for two days of immersive learning, idea sharing, and networking. This development enables members to send their teams to unique vendor, providing an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of each facility. The added reimbursement benefit of $200 for travel solidifies the Leadership Symposiums as a compelling incentive and invaluable resource for Azione Unlimited dealers.
“Our Leadership Meetings are lightning in a bottle,” remarks Patrick McCarthy, director of new business development and member services, Azione Unlimited. “By taking the magic of a conference, combining it with extraordinary vendor partners locations, and tailoring it to the next layer of leaders within an organization, we produce an extremely potent and comprehensive approach to education. The additional Leadership Symposium represents the excitement that dealers have for educating and rewarding their team and we are thrilled to provide a huge educational ROI for our members.”
