October 5 sessions feature new tech solutions and growth opportunities in the home security and hospitality market

Market research leader Parks Associates announces its virtual events on October 5, as part of the CONNECTIONS™ and Smart Spaces conferences, focusing on the business and tech innovations driving growth in home security and hospitality. 

The residential technology market and the hospitality markets continue to add personalization and new experiences through connectivity and technology enablement, which create multiple new revenue streams. The home security market continues to expand beyond its traditional channel—Parks Associates’ most recent consumer survey data of 8,000 internet households finds 4% of households acquired a smart home solution through an insurance provider. The hospitality market continues to grow as hotels look to differentiate entertainment, access, and check-in and concierge services. 

“Consumers expect experiences that include strong reliance on connectivity; devices and systems have expanded to have enhanced value, driving differentiation, new revenue, and services,” said Elizabeth Parks, President and CMO, Parks Associates.
