More than 450 attendees participated in the annual three-day event, focused on sharing ideas and information to help Lenel and Interlogix dealers and VARs grow their security businesses. The Elevate summit offered workshops delivering insights into how the security industry is evolving, including the latest technology advancements that are making the world a safer and more convenient place to live.

Closing the event, 19 awards were given to the company’s best regional and national dealers and VARs for growth in several categories over the past year.
