Creating New Revenue Opportunities with 'Independent Living' Solutions
Alan Matthews

With population demographics shifting and people living for longer, costs of residential care increasing, budgetary pressures on local authorities and NHS to do more with less as well as labour shortages across the entire care sector, there are significant opportunities for companies that can provide ‘Independent Living Technology’ solutions. 

As Smart Home installers there are numerous home automation solutions, which as an industry we have a track history of providing, that can also be utilised to support people to live independently in their homes or to assist care facility’s staff and owners. 

In this presentation we’ll give you an overview of the following:
•    The Problem
•    The Solution
•    Several Target Client Types
•    Why Now
•    Market Size/The Opportunity 
•    Example Integrator Revenues 

Come and learn how easily you can add ‘Independent Living Technologies’ to the portfolio of solutions that your business provides.

Maximising Value from Completed Projects
Keith Jones

Your completed projects hold more potential than you may realise. In this insightful session, Keith Jones explores how to unlock ongoing value — whether that's increased turnover, greater profitability, or enhanced sales — from the work you've already delivered. Keith will highlight the often - overlooked importance of existing clients and finished installations and demonstrate how to showcase the hidden technology and craftsmanship that power your most successful projects.

You’ll discover how completed work can be used to educate clients, inspire new ideas, and communicate the value of modern smart home solutions—while also introducing a fresh approach to saving travel time for both you and your clients in today’s fast-paced environment. Packed with practical, real-world examples, this session will give you a clear roadmap for turning past successes into future opportunities.
