AVIXA has announced RESIDE, a new event for the custom integration community, including integrators, manufacturers, and service providers shaping the residential market. RESIDE will debut with Lightapalooza at InfoComm 2027 June 16-18 in Orlando, Florida.
Technology-driven experiences now shape how people live, work, and play. As commercial and residential disciplines are increasingly sharing technologies and skillsets, the addition of RESIDE and Lightapalooza to InfoComm will accelerate the convergence already underway and strengthen connections across the AV industry. At InfoComm 2025, 16% of integrators in attendance indicated they serve the residential market.
RESIDE is being launched through a joint venture between AVIXA, Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA), and ProSource to create a new purpose-built event for the residential channel. Together, HTSA and ProSource represent more than 750 of North America’s leading residential integration firms.
“This partnership brings together powerful communities that need a true connection point, one place to engage with peers, manufacturers, and solution providers through product demonstrations, training, education, and networking,” says Jenn Heinold, senior vice president, expositions, Americas, AVIXA. “We’re seeing the same convergence in the home that we’ve experienced in commercial AV. What was once disparate technology is now a fully integrated system, and that shift is reshaping the industry.”
“For custom integrators and manufacturers at the top of the field, it’s critical to approach audio, video, control, networking, lighting, outdoor, and wellness as a single, integrated system,” says Jim Pearse, CEO of ProSource. “We’re proud of this unprecedented partnership with AVIXA and HTSA to provide our industry with RESIDE, a show where custom integrators who are defining this discipline will come together.”
“ProSource and HTSA partnered early on for Lightapalooza, a show that clearly proved the need for enhanced education, networking, and collaboration within the custom integration community,” says Jon Robbins, HTSA executive director. “We’re thrilled to work with ProSource and AVIXA to build a residential show our industry deserves.”
