An event series where regional insight meets meaningful collaboration.
This year, Genetec is bringing our expertise directly to you through a new series of regional events designed for Consultants, Designers, and Engineers.
These smaller, in‑person gatherings replace this year’s Elevate Consultants Event, allowing for focused, local conversations that address the needs of each region. Connect with Genetec experts, explore practical solutions, and gain insights you can apply in your work, all in a conversational format that supports stronger relationships across key markets in the U.S. and Canada.
Each regional event will also feature a dedicated Day 2, where you can invite your end users to join the discussion alongside Genetec channel partners, as well as a Technology Expo featuring Genetec technology partners.
While this year’s approach is regional and relationship‑driven, we plan to return with the full Elevate'27 North America Consultant Event next year. Choose the city closest to you and take part in an event built around your market.
