ADI cancels remaining 2020 expos

ADI, the security products distribution division of Resideo, has announced that all ADI Expo events have been canceled for the remainder of 2020. Adrienne Zimoulis, ADI's Director of Communications, sent us the following statement:

"As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation, ADI’s top priority remains the health and safety of our team members, customers and supplier partners. This decision was not made lightly, but we feel it is the best option given the current environment. The ADI Expo program is planned to resume in February 2021."

“For more than 25 years, the ADI Expos have been an important part of our industry as our customers rely on us to provide them with training on the latest technologies. We remain committed to leading the industry in educational opportunities for our customers, and we look forward to hosting these events again next year,” said Marco Cardazzi, VP of Global Marketing at ADI. “In the meantime, we will continue to ramp up our online webinar offerings and encourage customers to participate in training through ADI Academy, our new on-demand training platform.” 

The statement continues: "Now more than ever, online training has become more important and ADI Academy allows dealers to participate in industry and product training anytime, anywhere. ADI Academy offers a wide variety of training across a number of categories including security, access control, IP video, networking, cyber security and more. The platform currently hosts more than 70 courses and over 150 hours of content, and new courses are being added regularly. Dealers can use the platform to sharpen business skills, and earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) that are required across several states. Customers can sign up for individual courses, or get access to all training courses with a one-year subscription."
