ADI Launches Inaugural Control4 NEXT Conference for Certified Technicians

ADI is launching Control4 NEXT, a new three-day conference designed for Control4 Certified Technicians. Taking place October 20–22 in San Antonio, Texas, the event will offer advanced technical education, hands-on training, and direct access to Control4 product and engineering teams.

Beyond training, Control4 NEXT aims to bring the integrator community together to share knowledge, explore new technologies, and discover opportunities for business growth. The conference highlights ADI’s continued investment in the Control4 ecosystem, including platform innovation, certification, connected-home solutions, and support for dealers as customer expectations evolve.

ADI recently announced Control4 NEXT, a three-day education and training conference created for Control4 Certified Technicians. As part of ADI’s continued investment in the long-term success of the Control4 platform and its authorized dealer community, the event will provide attendees with advanced technical education, hands-on product training, and direct access to the teams shaping the future of Control4.

Scheduled for October 20-22 in San Antonio, Texas, Control4 NEXT reflects ADI’s continued commitment to innovation, technical excellence, and customer success. Designed to become an annual gathering for the Control4 professional community, the conference will bring together advanced training, direct collaboration with engineering and product teams, and advanced previews of future innovations across the Control4 platform.

More than a training event, Control4 NEXT is designed to strengthen connections across the Control4 ecosystem, giving integrators an opportunity to learn, collaborate, share best practices and explore new opportunities for business growth.

“The strength of the Control4 ecosystem has always come from the expertise of our authorized dealers, and our commitment to their success has never been stronger,” said Allie Copeland, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at ADI. “As technology continues to transform the way people live and interact with their homes, we see a tremendous opportunity ahead for our customers. Control4 Next reflects our commitment to helping our customers stay at the forefront of technology, build strong businesses, and create exceptional experiences for their customers.”

Since Control4 became part of ADI, the company has continued to strengthen the ecosystem through investments in platform innovation, including the X4 Operating System, Lux Lighting, Vibrant Lighting, and T5 In-Wall Touchscreens, and other innovations. ADI has also expanded recurring revenue opportunities through Control4 Connect and Assist, enhanced education through its Control4 Certified Technician (C4CT) program, invested in certification and showroom initiatives, and broadened interoperability across the connected home ecosystem.

As homeowners increasingly expect intelligent, integrated experiences that combine automation, lighting, security, networking, entertainment, energy management and emerging AI-driven technologies, dealers need more than access to products. They need a trusted partner that provides the technologies, expertise and support required to keep pace with evolving customer expectations. As an independent company, ADI remains committed to Control4 as an authorized dealer brand, continuing to invest in the innovations, services and programs that help customers grow their businesses and deliver exceptional connected experiences.
