Is seeing smart home technology in a showroom important to you before making purchasing decisions?
Liaison Technology Group opened a new design center in Fort Myers in October 2026, offering a dedicated space for smart home technology and lighting demonstrations. The facility functions as both a client-facing showroom and a training hub for industry professionals and vendors.
Why it matters
The center was established to centralize project planning, education, and collaboration for local design and trade partners. By integrating showroom space with dedicated training areas, the firm aims to streamline the specification process for complex smart home and architectural elements.
The firm, which completed two major acquisitions in August 2026, launched the facility alongside a growth strategy that included hiring a new director of programming and launching a lighting division. The showroom also featured a promotional giveaway of two 55-inch LG QNED84S TVs.

Market Landscape
The firm's expansion follows a broader industry trend of integrating professional showrooms with technical training facilities to simplify complex product specifications. This approach builds on the pattern of firms scaling via strategic acquisitions and the expansion of internal service capabilities.
Local contractors and interior designers should evaluate whether the center's training space or showroom capabilities can assist in their project planning workflows. Operators should monitor the firm's increased capacity following its recent acquisitions to assess potential changes in service availability or vendor partnerships.
The takeaway

Local operators should track the firm's expanded lighting and programming capabilities as a signal of shifting competitive offerings in the regional construction and design market.
