Directed Returns to KnowledgeFest Dallas

~ Hands-On Demonstration of Latest Technologies and Technical and Sales Trainings ~

VISTA, Calif. (August 1, 2019) – Directed announced today its training schedule for KnowledgeFest Dallas, continuing its relationship with the Mobile Electronics Association (MEA) as Platinum Partners.

"We love exhibiting and training at the KnowledgeFest series of shows," said Directed CEO Bob Struble. "Our participation in these events helps build our strong relationship with our dealer and installer partners and highlights Directed's industry leadership in product innovation and support."

Directed will be at the Dallas Convention Center from August 9th through 11th. Attendees can experience Directed’s industry leading innovation in Booth 515. They will see the latest DS4 technologies including the industry’s only wireless siren, SmartStart Pro, the industry’s fastest Connected Car solution, and Viper Powersports Security and GPS products. Attendees can also learn about the new revenue opportunities available from Directed’s Ignition Interlock business, Alcohol Detection Systems.

Last year’s “Race the CEO Challenge” was such a success Directed is repeating it and will be rewarding folks who beat Bob’s install time with an “I Beat Bob” t-shirt. The person with the fastest time will win a Denon / Definitive Technology sound system. Directed’s Race the CEO challenge will be available during all show floor hours.

During technical trainings, Directed Product Specialist Representatives Bryan Nelson and Colby Pitman will coach up attendees on the latest technical updates in Directed’s evolving product line. Show attendees can choose from four different timeslots, so there’s no reason to not attend.
