What’s Next for the Connected Home: Year-End Insights and CES Preview

Speakers:

Parks Associates closes out 2026 with a research-driven look at the state of the connected home market and the companies, technologies, and strategies positioned to shape 2027.

Drawing on Parks Associates’ latest consumer research, industry forecasts, and ongoing tracking of the smart home, security, broadband, energy, and connected device markets, this virtual CONNECTIONS™ Summit examines where adoption is growing, where consumers see value, and where new opportunities are emerging.

The program also looks ahead to CES 2027, highlighting recent announcements and strategic moves from major market players and identifying the companies and technologies to watch at the show. Parks Associates’ analysts and industry executives will discuss developments in AI, interoperability, smart home platforms, security, energy management, Wi-Fi, and new connected services.

Which announcements represent meaningful market shifts rather than incremental product updates? Where are companies investing? What new partnerships and ecosystem strategies are emerging? And what does Parks Associates’ consumer research indicate about the likelihood that these innovations will gain traction?

The session combines Parks Associates’ market intelligence with industry perspectives to provide a data-driven preview of the trends, announcements, and competitive dynamics that will define CES and the connected home market in 2027.
