The Alliance is a proud sponsor of CONNECTIONS™, the only connected home event to focus on the use cases and emerging business models that will successfully engage consumers and grow revenues in the converging IoT industries – including smart home, connected entertainment, and mobile ecosystems. The audience is top executives, media, and thought leaders in the digital living markets.

The Alliance’s Head of Technology, Christopher LaPré will speak on the panel, “Special Session: Interoperability,” on May 13, 10 AM CT, alongside Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board of BlueConnect Partners and Z-Wave Alliance, Avi Rosenthal, which will be moderated by Jennifer Tuohy from the Verge.

As industries continue to embrace new standards, protocols, and platforms, the ability to interoperate seamlessly across different systems becomes paramount. However, despite technological progress, the path toward true interoperability remains fraught with complexity, particularly when it comes to aligning business models with multi-standard environments. This session addresses the latest developments in standards for the smart home.
