IN BRIEF
Home Technology Association
Celebrates 5 Years
THE HOME TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION (HTA) is celebrating
its fifth anniversary this year. In its five years, HTA has
expanded with hundreds of HTA Certified integrators in the
U.S. and Canada.
The HTA has also forged alliances with prestigious associations
and organizations from adjacent trades, including
AIBD (American Institute of Building Design), ASID (American
Society of Interior Designers), IDS (Interior Design
Society), NAHB (National Association of Home Builders),
NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry),
and NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association). These
alliances help bridge the gap between the design-build and
integration communities and make HTA Certified integration
firms the go-to resource for interior designers, architects,
builders, and specifiers.
ADI Opens New ECD
Branch in Austin
ADI GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION, a wholesale distributor of
security, AV and low-voltage products, has announced the
opening of a new branch location in Austin, Texas, for its
recently acquired Electronic Custom Distributors (ECD)
business.
The company says the expanded footprint provides cusIn
its short time, HTA has certified hundreds of integrators
in North America.
HTA's ongoing education and content contribution to these
trade associations creates a more natural and easily navigable
pathway from their membership to HTA Certified integration
firms and HTA Supporting Brands. It is also helping to build
member confidence in specifying technology into projects and
partnering with the right integrator for each project.
" What really drives us is doing everything in our power
to change how integrators are brought to new construction
and remodeling projects. Integrators decry being brought to
the project too late to do their best work, and we all know
how nobody wins when this happens, " says Josh Christian,
Home Technology Association CEO. " The HTA is serving as
the bridge association between the best integrators and
architects, interior designers, and contractors, educating
them on why it is in their best interests to engage a qualified
integrator at the earliest stage in their process and as often
as possible. "
Also of note is the significant success of the HTA Supporting
Brand program, with more than 50 of the top smart home
technology manufacturers on board supporting their mission.
HTA Supporting Brands have the unique opportunity to speak
to the top integration firms and designers, architects, builders,
and specifiers via HTA's social media, email campaigns, webinars,
and other digital marketing activities.
