The connected home market is evolving faster than most product roadmaps can track. New revenue models are emerging, and AI is reshaping what connected devices can do. Market leaders are engaging with this rapid change and forging strategic partnerships to seize new opportunities. That conversation is exactly what Parks Associates CONNECTIONS™ is built for.

CONNECTIONS is the connected home industry's premier executive forum, convening top leaders across smart home, connected entertainment, and mobile ecosystems to examine the business models, consumer trends, and technology platforms shaping the market's next chapter. Here, the people building the connected home come to pressure-test ideas, benchmark strategies, and stay ahead of what's coming.

Ayla helps our customers answer questions about these topics every day. Our team will be at CONNECTIONS to share our insights and to hear from customers and partners. 

On Wednesday, May 6, Ayla Networks CEO John Grady will join a panel discussion alongside Colin Cureton of Silicon Labs and Asad Tahir of Lennox: Monetizing IoT & AI: Revenue Models that Work. This session, moderated by Parks Associates SVP and Principal Analyst Jennifer Kent,  runs from 9:45 to 10:15 AM PT at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara.

The panel will break down  monetization strategies that are proving sustainable as IoT and AI mature, from subscription layering and outcome-based services to partner-driven bundles and AI-enabled revenue models. John will share Ayla's perspective on how different brands are monetizing across the U.S. and global markets; what end users are genuinely willing to pay for; and how platform-level AI is changing the economics of connected product businesses for brands at every stage of the journey.

If you're attending CONNECTIONS, we'd welcome the chance to connect. Reach out ahead of the event to arrange time with John, or find us on-site.
