Oasys Residential Technology Group brought together custom integrators, vendor partners, and industry leaders for its 2026 Oasys Summit — themed the “Coronado Conclave” — from April 20-22 at the Coronado Marriott Island Resort & Spa. The agenda included education sessions, peer-led discussions, vendor experience suites, and networking opportunities designed to strengthen relationships and provide clear takeaways for growth and operational efficiency.
“The Oasys Summit isn’t about presentations; it’s about progress,” says Hank Alexander, director of Oasys. “In Coronado, our members and vendors showed up ready to engage through one-on-one meetings, experience suites, and honest peer conversations that move businesses forward. Bringing our member development director Jason Magdic on stage for a series of member-driven sessions added another level of real-world insight you just don’t get anywhere else. We also welcomed 10 new vendor partners, over a dozen new members, and launched the first-ever Oasys Awards to recognize the people and companies raising the bar across our network.”
