NSCA, the leading not-for-profit association representing the commercial low-voltage electronic systems industry, is excited to announce the agenda for Pivot to Profit on Sept. 24-25 at Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel in Irving, TX. The event is hosted by NSCA, PSA Security, and SYNNEX.
The event kicks off with a vital discussion – Balancing Innovation with Unprecedented Regulations – led by Cisco Technical Leader Jason Potterf. While it might be too early to write a business plan around emerging applications like 5G and IoT, it’s never too early to start paying serious attention to industry-shaping developments – both the technology behind them and the regulations that may guide them. The session will also cover the sweeping impact of new regulations and licensure, which will influence the rate of innovation adoption.
NSCA says other 'don’t-miss' conference sessions will cover topics such as:
- Moving upstream in the architectural design process
- Strengthening cybersecurity defenses and developing risk-mitigation strategies
- Shifting from project-centric to service-centric thinking
- Implementing advanced client retention strategies and pricing modifiers
- Incorporating machines and technology to crunch data
- Picking the right innovation partners
- Tools and approaches to make you successful
- Navigating potential risk through best practices
- Fighting back against off-the-shelf commodity solutions
“Innovation impacts revenue,” says Chuck Wilson, NSCA executive director, adding, “And it’s time for integrators to embrace that opportunity. The fourth annual Pivot to Profit discusses innovation in every aspect of business, from customer experiences to new technology, and prepares integrators for the inevitable shift to recurring revenue.”
