Savant UK Dealer Summit 2023

News / 24.03.23

Wow. What a day! Thank you to everybody who attended and helped make the event such a success. For those who weren’t able to make it, don’t worry. We’ve summarized the day for you all, below.

Our day started with a little socializing over hot drinks and pastries before we kicked off with our talks with Trevor de Maat from Savant Systems, Katie Kennedy, Rob Thompson, Caroline Britt and Colin Shirley from Savant Europe and some of the RGB team including:

  • A summary of Recent Developments including the 10.2 da Vinci update.
  • An introduction to Smart Networking by Jupiter.
  • The summary of the new price reductions on many Savant products.
  • The power of S2, and how to position it to customers.
  • 2023’s roadmap.
  • A deep-dive into SCM.

Then there was the opportunity for integrators to ask questions to the Savant US and Europe management. A huge thanks to everybody for getting involved with their comments and questions throughout the day. It was a great chance to discuss, learn and get to know you all. 

We were thrilled to be joined by 4 of our partner brands for the day who took the opportunity to tell us about the benefits offered by their products and services:

We were joined by Lutron’s Dan Sparrow to learn all about the brand, their products and how they perfectly partner with Savant. He used the opportunity to show off Lutron’s new Palladiom Wire-Free Shading System, with industry leading battery life and incredibly easy battery changing.

RGB’s Dan Edwards told us all about Polar Bear Design. The told us about their products (including the Zentium and the Alisse) and how the brand works with Savant and Lutron. 

GUDE’s very own Philipp Gude introduced everyone to the world of GUDE, including their brand new solutions as part of their Size Matters range. It was a great opportunity to hear about the history of the brand and how they’ve grown and developed.

Lastly, we were introduced to Devialet by Philip Rose. This was our first chance to show off Devialet and their products which will soon be available through RGB! We learned about the brand and their products including their Phantom range and their new Home Theatre experience. They also showed off their fantastic Phantom speakers (which look and sound phenomenal) to the joy of the audience.

We were thrilled to announce Cinemas & Control, Matthews Simply Connecting, ATI and Nucleus AV as our newest ambassadors, joining our existing ambassadors ARP Electrical Ltd, Cre8tive Rooms Ltd, Glo, Lamont Consultants, Liv Technology Ltd and Tillman Domotics LLP.

Finally, we ended our day (apart from the bar after - thanks Lutron!) with our awards ceremony. Whilst not everybody was there to accept their awards, many were and it was fantastic to celebrate some fantastic successes…
