The HDL 2026 Global Conference brought partners from around the world to Guangzhou for two days of open conversation, shared direction, and future-focused planning. Built around the theme “Explore·Exchange·Evolve,” the event was designed to align strategy, strengthen partnerships, and set a clear course for the year ahead.
Aligning Strategy for Shared Success
The conference opened with a simple message from HDL CEO Frank: “Welcome home.” More than a greeting, it reflected HDL’s long-term belief that sustainable growth is built on trust, consistency, and shared growth.
Across strategy, channels, branding, products, hospitality, and energy, HDL presented a unified roadmap focused on partner enablement.
Edward announced the launch of the Global Sales Department, bringing international and domestic resources into one integrated structure. The goal is straightforward: stronger support, and a more efficient system built around real partner needs.
From a brand perspective, Anthony outlined three priorities: stronger localized support, a centralized lead pool to improve opportunity sharing, and an upgraded marketing toolkit for go-to-market execution. He also shared 2026 global exhibition and event plan, highlighting new opportunities for partners to grow together.
Product, Hospitality, and Energy in Focus
Alvin shared HDL product direction across its two core areas: Smart Home and Smart Hotel. Smart home development continues to focus on open platforms and user experience, while the hotel strategy centers on delivering a complete, reliable KNX solution, alongside exploration into AI and energy management.
For the high-end hotel market, Lawrence introduced the “500K Program,” a structured approach designed to help partners move upstream—engaging with hotel brands, decision-makers, and higher-value projects through stronger solutions and more opportunities.
Dicky announced the launch of a unified Global Technical Support Center, offering standardized, end-to-end support to help partners confidently deliver complex projects worldwide.
Looking ahead, Richard highlighted energy autonomy as a key growth area. With a complete smart energy ecosystem already in place, HDL is now enabling partners to enter this market with practical tools, products, and implementation support.
Recognizing Success and Looking Ahead
The 2025 Awards Ceremony recognized partners for outstanding projects and market performance over the past year—each award reflecting close collaboration and outstanding solutions.
Throughout the event, partners explored HDL’s latest innovations in an immersive product experience area, including the award-winning Xelent panel series and integrated solutions for hotels and high-end residences. The focus was practical, hands-on, and project-driven.
Connection Beyond Business
The second day featured parallel sessions on Smart Home and Smart Hotels, combining HDL expertise with partner sharing. The conference concluded with a relaxed music party—less about business, more about connection—reinforcing the strong personal connections within the global HDL partner community.
Moving Forward
With a clearer strategy, stronger support systems, and deeper collaboration, the HDL 2026 Global Partner Conference marked a confident step forward. Together with its partners, HDL will continue to explore new possibilities and evolve toward a smarter future.
