Total Tech Summit 2021 Slated for Orlando in November, Now Open for Applications

Applications are now open for the 2021 Total Tech Summit, coming to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., from Nov. 17 to 19.

The annual event brings together the best and brightest minds in commercial AV and residential AV and security integration for panel discussion, keynotes and breakout sessions focused on improving every aspect of your business—and learning from your peers.

The hosted event—which was held virtually in 2020—pairs attendees in all three disciplines with manufacturers who can introduce them to new products and solutions. Attendees of the 2020 Total Tech Summit recently kicked off VIP peer-to-peer networking groups to extend their connections.

“The core objective is to create engagement and networking opportunity,” said CI publisher Ray Lyons during a recent Q&A session about the transformation of the Total Tech Summit for 2020.

Why to Apply for Total Tech Summit 2021

Chief content officer Jason Knott agrees the networking opportunities provided through Total Tech Summit attendance is “the key to the success of the event we’ve created.”

Knott noted that the Summit follows the same principle of all three publications it represents: helping integrators do their jobs better.

Lyons knows other event organizers have tried to create similar networking opportunities for attendees at their events and have failed.

He’s confident with the advances in technology recently and with the backing of “a lot of assets in-house to make this successful,” these networking groups will be a big hit.

“Any person in these peer groups will have the chance to be the student and the mentor,” said Lyons.

Felix Media Solutions CEO Lionel Felix knows he’ll garner important insights from his VIP Peer-to-Peer networking group during the yearlong interaction, like he’s been able to learn new approaches to business from Total Tech Summit attendees he’s met in person at previous shows.

“There’s something very comforting to know there are others living a similar life and going through the same things as you,” said Felix. “I want to be part of that club. That means a lot to me. I’m looking forward to being there for other people.

“It feels really good to talk to other people at our level. They appreciate it in a different way,” he said.
