MANAYUNK, Penn., June 22, 2011 — Zonoff, Inc., creators of the Intuitive Home™, today announced that CEO Mike Harris has been invited to speak on a top-level panel discussion at the 15th annual CONNECTIONS™ Digital Living Conference and Showcase, hosted by research firm Parks Associates in Santa Clara, CA from June 28th – 30th, 2011.
CONNECTIONS attracts over 500 executives from around the world focused on innovative consumer technology solutions for digital entertainment, home networking, broadband access, energy management, and others areas.
Harris and four other industry executives from Verizon Telecom, IBM, Alcatel-Lucent and Alarm.com will address the topic, "How do Service Providers Maximize the Connected Home?" The discussion will center around the varied opportunities for broadband, wireless, energy, and pay-TV service providers to offer value-added services. Specifically, the panel will address which value-added features will provide immediate opportunities versus long term, as well as an overview of the types of industry partnerships that will be required for broad market appeal.
"We're looking forward to participating on this panel, and sharing our insights with this audience of industry leaders," states Mike Harris, CEO of Zonoff. "Our core software platform and Web services leverage existing worldwide standards such as Z-Wave and ZigBee, and enables us to add value to all sub-systems in the home, while also bringing a new level of access to consumers. This particular panel is an ideal forum in which to share our perspectives on the future of the connected home market."
