Crestron has unveiled its new flagship experience center in New York City. Located at 200 Lexington Avenue in the New York Design Center, the Crestron Experience Center is an immersive environment where visitors can experience the full potential of Crestron’s workplace and smart home technology solutions firsthand.
The Crestron Experience Center was designed to be more than just a showroom; Crestron considers it “an interactive journey” that showcases Crestron’s technology solutions in a “dynamic and engaging environment.”
This new location meets the needs and expectations set by today’s customers as technology continues to become more pervasive. Decision makers go beyond the typical AV/IT subject matter experts, and this experiential setting will allow every visitor, no matter their background, to visualize the impact that technology can have on their lives in a multitude of settings. The Crestron Experience Center integrates both residential and commercial applications, featuring dedicated spaces that demonstrate how Crestron caters to both individuals and businesses through reliable offerings that can be tailored to any specific environment.
Visitors can explore a range of integrated systems, from advanced home automation solutions that enhance everyday living to sophisticated commercial technologies that create smarter, more productive spaces. A unique addition to the center will be a workshop where visitors can use new technologies in a hands-on way to set up a system, test different configurations, and discover new possibilities, even with products that are in beta.
“Beyond just a new location, the Crestron Experience Center represents an investment in our partners and customers, offering them the opportunity to engage directly with our solutions, explore new innovations, and collaborate to solve real-life challenges,” said Brad Hintze, EVP of global marketing at Crestron. “This center provides an unparalleled platform for visitors to experience Crestron’s capabilities and inspire new possibilities to drive their success and their growth in the rapidly evolving markets.”
The latest Crestron Experience Center will feature immersive demonstrations in practical, real-world scenarios, including plug-and-play huddle spaces, advanced conference rooms, and a fully equipped modern apartment. Through tangible interactions in these contextual designs, visitors will see how Crestron solutions power these diverse spaces. Personalized tours will provide deeper insights into the capabilities and potential use cases of the technologies on display. A highlight is a large event space featuring an 11-foot video wall powered by the Crestron DM NVX AV-over-IP platform.
Visitors can delve into the power of unified communications through Crestron Flex videoconferencing systems and 1 Beyond intelligent video solutions. These tools create immersive, engaging meetings by enabling seamless integration with leading collaboration platforms, boosting productivity and enhancing teamwork. The center also showcases Crestron AirMedia wireless presentation and conferencing solutions, offering a glimpse into the freedom and flexibility of wireless collaboration. These technologies bring ease and efficiency to modern collaboration spaces, making meetings and presentations more dynamic and impactful.
Crestron’s legacy of control and automation will also be on full display as the backbone for each of the dynamic demonstration, whether for boardrooms, classrooms, homes, or hotels. The Crestron DM NVX AV-over-IP platform delivers flexible, scalable, and high-performance audio and video distribution, and powers applications for large and small events. Additionally, visitors will dive into the future of smart homes with Crestron Home OS, a system that unifies entertainment, lighting, climate control, and security into one personalized, intuitive interface — transforming home automation to enhance comfort, convenience, and safety.
“Our global experience centers have long been an important pillar of our business and are key locations for offering hands-on interactions. This New York City location is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences and continuing to push the boundaries of what we can offer. We want our clients to see firsthand how Crestron solutions can transform their spaces and enhance their lives,” Hintze concluded.
