ADI Expo Tour Delivers Strategies to Help Dealers Grow, Differentiate & Win More Business

ADI, a distributor of security, AV and smart living solutions, launched its annual ADI Expo Tour. Beginning in April, the ADI Expo will travel to 28 cities across the United States and Canada, bringing the power of an industry tradeshow to selected markets by connecting dealers, integrators and manufacturers for a one-day experience designed to uncover new revenue opportunities, strengthen competitive positioning and deliver actionable insights.
Building on more than three decades of success, the 2026 ADI Expo is designed to go beyond product discovery and technical training. Each stop delivers real-world education focused on helping dealers increase revenue and adapt to evolving customer demands. The integrated program features hands-on product demonstrations, targeted training sessions, guest speakers and networking opportunities, all centered on business outcomes.
“The ADI Expo has always been about helping our customers succeed, and, in 2026, we are taking an even more deliberate approach to business growth,” said Marco Cardazzi, senior vice president and chief merchandising officer, ADI Global Distribution. “This year’s Expo is designed to help dealers uncover new opportunities, better position their offerings and leave each event with insights and strategies they can put to work immediately to drive revenue and long-term growth.”
The 2026 ADI Expo tour began in Nashville, TN on April 7, followed by Toronto, ON on April 9; Detroit, MI on April 14; Fort Lauderdale, FL on April 21; Anaheim, CA on April 23; and Teaneck, NJ on April 30. In May, the Expo will travel to New Orleans, LA; Chicago, IL; and Charlotte, NC. In June, the Expo will be in Edmonton, AB; San Jose, CA; and Arlington, VA.
Later this year, Expos are planned in the following locations: Oklahoma City, Raleigh, Austin, Seattle, Louisville, Tampa, Philadelphia, Vancouver, Houston, St. Louis, Long Island, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas and Montreal.
At each stop, attendees will gain access to education that directly supports business expansion, including sessions focused on emerging technologies, solution selling, system integration opportunities and evolving market trends. ADI will also offer educational seminars and CEU opportunities (where applicable).
The 2026 ADI Expo tour will feature over 50 participating suppliers. This close collaboration allows dealers to engage in one-on-one conversations with suppliers, explore new product categories and identify solutions that can help expand services, increase project size and improve profitability.
“By bringing education, supplier engagement, and exclusive one-day offers together in a single event, the ADI Expo continues to deliver measurable value for both dealers and manufacturers,” Cardazzi said. “The 2026 tour reinforces ADI’s commitment to helping customers not only stay current, but grow stronger, more resilient businesses in a competitive and rapidly changing marketplace.”
