Since holding its grand opening in September of last year, Strateres has hosted several successful events in the Strateres Design Studio. In an industry defined by constant innovation, these events give design, construction, and integration professionals the opportunity to experience emerging technology firsthand while exchanging ideas with peers and manufacturers.
In June, the Strateres Design Studio hosted Sony for a new product introduction featuring the newest line of BRAVIA TVs. In attendance was Tony Litto, Principal at
Norfolk Home Systems, a custom integration company.“ There is simply no substitute for getting manufacturers, designers, builders, and integrators in the same room to experience these technologies together,” he said.
To better understand the Sony event’ s impact, Strateres distributed a post-event survey to attendees. An impressive 96.7 percent of respondents rated the event a perfect five out of five for its value to their business or projects.
At another event, held in partnership with Marvin and appropriately named‘ Partners in Possibility’, Strateres hosted a panel discussion featuring Boston-based designers and architects focused on the importance of ongoing communication among project partners. They provided all attendees with notebooks, encouraging them to capture key takeaways from the discussion.
