News from the Show

On behalf of the Security Industry Association (SIA), welcome to ISC West! As the premier sponsor of ISC West and the leading trade association for global security solution providers – with over 1,200 innovative member companies from all facets of the security industry – SIA is thrilled to be here for this event bringing the industry together to connect with thousands of security and public safety professionals, explore the latest technologies, learn from thought leaders, engage in exciting networking opportunities and more. We’d love to meet you at the show, so please join us for our education, networking and event offerings at ISC West!

This year, SIA Education@ISC West returns with more than 65 sessions on topics ranging from enhanced syndrome tracking and thermal cameras to cybersecurity risks impacting security companies, strengthening your business resiliency in an economic downturn and the latest technologies in cloud security and drones. Best of all, the education track is designed so that you can participate in sessions and still have plenty of time to tour the trade show floor; plus, single-day SIA Education@ISC tickets are available if your time in Vegas is limited. SIA Education@ISC West sessions continue through Wednesday, July 21, and you can register at https://www.iscwest.com/en-us/seminars.html or sign up at a registration booth.

We hope you’ll join us for one of SIA’s signature events here at ISC West. On Tuesday, July 20, at 12 p.m., join us for the SIA Lunch and Learn: Is Privacy a Liability or an Opportunity for Your Company? to get expert insights and perspectives on data privacy issues and enjoy lunch and networking. Register at https://www.securityindustry.org/upcoming-events/data-privacy-lunch-at-isc-west/ to attend or inquire at our booth (#6077). And from 1 to 4 p.m., stop by the SIA OSDP Demo and Sandbox Lounge to learn about the benefits of SIA’s Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) access control interoperability standard and the OSDP Verified program, plus see a demo of interoperability across multiple access control solution vendors. No RSVP necessary!

And of course, make special point of attending the keynote sessions, which are free to attend. On Monday, Boeing Corporation Chief Security Officer Dave Komendat speaks at 11:15 a.m.; retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent James Gagliano speaks at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday; and NASCAR driver and 2-time champion Julia Landauer takes the stage Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. as part of SIA’s Women in Security Forum keynote at ISC West. If you’re interested in answering the question of how we create a more diverse, representative and exciting industry, this gathering of our Women in Security Forum is the place to be on Wednesday.

As the premier sponsor of ISC West, SIA is proud to serve as a vital partner in the success of ISC West. I know that ISC West 2021 and SIA will continue lead the industry by offering record-setting value to you.
