The PowerHouse Alliance and seven of its 12 distributor members are preparing training for dealers in May with AV-focused education sessions across the country, and multiple dealer events.
21st Century Distributing will host its third-annual Integration Innovation Roadshow with two stops in North Carolina, plus stops in Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. 21st Century Distributing invites new and existing AV, custom install, smart home, security, and surveillance dealers to join them and all of their vendors including Vanco, Just Add Power, Lutron, Luxul, RTI, Peerless, Sony, and many more, for manufacturer trainings and demonstrations, show-only promotions, and product giveaways.
MRI invites dealers to Sony Training and Line Shows in Trumbull, CT on May 9 and Needham, MA on May 11, respectively. Each day will be split into two sessions—one from 9:00a.m. to 12:00p.m., and one from 1:00p.m. to 4:00p.m.—with lunch in between. Those who attend the afternoon sessions are also welcome to stay for happy hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
