Cox Communications and Vivint Smart Home to keynote 21st CONNECTIONS(TM): The Premier Connected Home Conference

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Jan 25, 2017) - IoT research firm Parks Associates today announced the topics and two keynotes from Cox and Vivint Smart Home for the upcoming 21st-annual CONNECTIONS™: The Premier Connected Home Conference on May 23-25, 2017, in San Francisco. The conference, which is currently accepting speaker submissions, will address topics on connected entertainment and smart home innovations, consumer adoption, marketing, and data/privacy protection.

Parks Associates recently released research finds 26% of U.S. broadband households own a smart home device, including 11% with a smart thermostat, 9% with a networked camera, and 8% with a smart door lock. Over 35% of U.S. broadband households own a connected health device, and 63% have an OTT video service subscription.

"Each IoT device brings its own use case, but it is in combination that their value propositions expand for consumers. In this context, the mass-market appeal of a connected home system starts to emerge as it can offer personalized value propositions for entertainment, security, controls, health, and energy," said Stuart Sikes, President, Parks Associates. "At CONNECTIONS™, we will examine each aspect of the connected home, with the goal to identify the strategies that will create mass-market value."

"Nearly two-thirds of U.S. broadband households with a smartphone want embedded connectivity in their next car," said Jennifer Kent, Director, Research Quality & Product Development, Parks Associates. "The convenience of IoT solutions is attracting considerable consumer interest, and at CONNECTIONS, we will examine the balance between consumer demand and security/privacy concerns and determine the best strategies for these markets to expand."
