Modern Work at Crestron Masters
There’s a keynote address, too; one that will be streamed globally — and that presentation will focus on modern work solutions, which is another aspect of this year’s Crestron Masters event. Modern Work at Crestron Masters is a two-day immersive event that provides training and expert insights on technology solutions for designing a modern workplace. That all culminates with the Crestron Modern Workplace Certification, a new Crestron Technical Institute (CTI) training certification focused on technology solutions for designing those hybrid, high-impact rooms and systems that are in high demand. That certification will be available globally online through CTI as well. (Watch this space for more info.)
Crestron also works with a wide range of manufacturers to bring clients the systems and experiences that best fit their needs — and this year, many of those partners are presenting dedicated training sessions. “These are 30-minute technical dives into their technology, comprising a 90-minute block on Thursday morning by each of our platform partners,” says Sasson. “They're coming with answers: How do you design with it? How do you program with it? How do you create that great integrated experience with their technology and Crestron?” While the event is commercially focused, residential integrators will find driver development courses extremely helpful.
The goal of all of this is to help Crestron Masters attendees create solutions perfectly tailored to any and every customer. “It takes designers and programs to work together to create those unified experiences that are easy for customers to understand — and aren’t intimidating.” And because Crestron Masters is an in-person, interactive event that encourages two-way communication — not just “lecture halls” — the combined knowledge of attendees and presenters is on full display.
“The most important thing about Crestron Masters is not just learning from Crestron, but rather the power of networking effectively and intelligently with each other, right?” notes Sasson. “It's a partnership. The Crestron Masters community is an incredibly important community to Crestron because these really are folks who are thought leaders who care about what they do, and we are constantly striving to help one another succeed.
“By working collaboratively, we all can create an incredible experience for users that makes us collectively proud to be in this industry.”
