Parks Associates Announces Topics And Dates For 2025 CONNECTIONS™ Conferences
Research firm addresses business of smart home and expansion of the tech giant ecosystem at digital home events
DALLAS, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Parks Associates today announced its topics for the 19th annual CONNECTIONS™ Summit at CES®, hosted on January 7, in Las Vegas and the 299th annual CONNECTIONS™ Conference, hosted May 13-15 at the Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel. These executive events bring together connected home leaders to address new business models among converging IoT industries and research showing the shifts in how consumers interact with technology and devices in their home.
The firm's latest research study Tech Ecosystem Dashboard analyzes the current strategies of tech giants Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung to expand their service scope by integrating smart home devices into their product ecosystems. Parks Associates finds that consumers report highest satisfaction with smartphones and smart TVs, which have NPS (net promoter scores) of 44 and 35, respectively. Consumers are least satisfied with smart speakers and smart displays, which have NPS of 13 and 11.
As video entertainment and smart home solutions continue to converge, the UI experience will be critical in driving engagement, and companies are deploying solutions focused on those integrated capabilities. For example, Google recently announced a successor to Chromecast, the Google TV Streamer, which offers AI-powered voice search, acts as a smart home hub, and offers access to over 800 free channels and 700,000 movies and TV shows from the popular streaming applications.
"Tech companies are working to increase interest in their whole ecosystem of devices and services and continue to introduce new products that can integrate together," said Ashton Gambrell, Director of Sales, Sponsorships, Parks Associates. "Companies continue to compete for brand loyalty and to be the comprehensive service provider for the home."
