2019 is proving to be a Year of Unprecedented Innovation, Strategic Acquisitions, and Unending Disruption. See you in Orlando, FL, the first week in February, at the ControlTrends Awards, 2020 AHR EXPO, and the twelve 2020 Vision Education Sessions hosted by Automated Buildings' Ken Sinclair.

Ken Sinclair delivers another outstanding assessment of the BAS industry: Ken’s world according to wireless. “Prior to attending CoRE TECH I wrote this review Building Wireless Inside Out.

Thank you CoRE Tech.”
