DALLAS, March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Parks Associates announced new research today showing U.S. broadband households have on average more than seven video access devices, including TVs, computers, tablets, and smartphones. At the inaugural Integrated Life Day, produced by Parks Associates and in partnership with AVIXA™, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, Parks Associates will share insights on the convergence of audio/visual and connected technologies as well as new business opportunities.
The one-day thought-leadership event, on June 5 in Las Vegas, focuses on the crossover opportunities between the commercial and residential audio/visual markets. The Integrated Life sessions address trends, technologies, business models, and forecasts for the AV market through interactive panel discussions and presentations.
