FAQ

The PowerUp Conference is much more than your regular Academy experience. PowerUp provides numerous interactive, workshop-style training opportunities that allow you to learn by doing. Choose from 6 Session Tracks or create your own that meets your needs and your role – all while earning CEUs*!

Absolutely! While some of the technical-focused sessions will cover the same Alarm.com products, services, and support tools covered in our Foundational and Advanced Technical Academies, the sessions at PowerUp are more immersive and dive deeper into each subject matter in a way that we cannot at the standard Academy. Moreover, PowerUp will feature new product and services updates and launches so be sure to sign up!

• Executive presentations
