THE EVOLUTION OF TECH IN RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

s a design professional, you are in a great many
instances the primary liaison to the consumer. The
importance of the role you play within the greater
value chain should not be understated.
Design professionals wear multiple hats
throughout any project. You are a trusted advisor, a source of inspiration and even a part-time
therapist. You help guide the consumer through
this unique and often complex journey from design to completion, on what is
likely one of the single-largest capital investments any homeowner will make.
Your unique talents and counsel help them through the process.
Along those lines, one of your greatest opportunities (and challenges) is to
educate your customers on the latest products and trends. In the past, this was
predominately around issues of fit and finish. However, you are now likely
asked about how to integrate smart and connected technologies into your
design. For some of you, these are conversations you have been having for
some time. For others, this is uncharted territory.This is where KBB can help.

A

n o t e

We have integrated content both in print
and online in support of our goal to educate and
empower the design professional on smart and
connected technologies in the home. We cover
products and projects, all in support of you and
your business. This particular issue of KBB will
not disappoint.
Just over a year ago, we completed the acquisition of CEDIA Expo, which is the premier
platform for connected residential technologies.
Whether you are actively working in connected
spaces or are interested in learning more about
them, I would strongly encourage you to consider
attending the CEDIA Expo, Sept. 4-8 in San
Diego. Not only will you see the latest in products
coming to market, but we have created multiple
environments for the design community to connect with technology professionals in the hopes of
forging long-term strategic relationships.
We hope to see you there.You can learn more about
CEDIA Expo by visiting www.cediaexpo.com.
I would also encourage you to join the conversation on all of our social channels.
