Heading to Resideo Connect 2019

As the weather cools off here in Texas, I'm heading to the desert — Phoenix, Arizona to be exact, for some (more) sun and warmth, but most importantly to join Resideo at the CONNECT 2019 dealer's conference. It's here that I'll learn all about the connected home - security, HVAC, plumbing and more — and bring all that knowledge to you! Below is a description of all that you can look forward to in the coming days.

The Partner and Innovation Showcase offers the opportunity to meet with the Resideo team to see their latest technologies in action. On Thursday, Oct. 24, I'll be tweeting about the latest and greatest connected/smart home technologies offered by Resideo @SSN_Ginger, so be sure you're following me as well as our hashtag #SSNTalks.

On Friday, Oct. 25, I'll bring you tid-bits of information via Twitter from Scott Harkins, VP/GM, Connected Home, Resideo, on how energy, water, air and security provide new opportunities to drive additional revenue and how you can become the smart home hero and expert, presented by Quentin Gunther and Rick Desch, both from Resideo. Also, Bruce Kimbrell of the Disney Institute will be presenting on how to inspire employee engagement through a culture of effective feedback and empowerment.

On Saturday, Oct. 26, I'll be heading back to Texas, but before I do, Resideo VP/GM, Global Pro Security, Alice DeBiasio will talk about the booming smart home market, forecasted to include approximately 1.3 billion devices by 2022. With the majority of consumers saying they'd choose to have their smart devices installed by a professional versus installing themselves, this is must-have information to create your smart home strategy within your business. This will be followed by how-tos from Jen Tagle of Resideo about selling video alarm verification — how to design, demo and price it to stay ahead of your competitors, create a higher RMR and provide priority police response to your customers.

Again, be sure to follow me on Twitter @SSN_Ginger as well as Security Systems News' hashtag #SSNTalks to be the first to see what's going on at Resideo Connect 2019.
