Electronic Security Expo Announces Networking Opportunities

Pittsburgh will buzz this summer, as Electronic Security Expo attendees mix, mingle and move the industry forward. On June 16, the Expo will host two special events: the ESX Big Bash and Club Crawl.
 
"If you're in the security industry, the ESX Big Bash and Club Crawl are premier events for networking with other security professionals," said John Knox, president of Knox Integrated Systems. "At these events we'll have a good time, forget about business for a while and build relationships. I'm looking forward to all the new and familiar faces I'll be seeing in the beautiful city of Pittsburgh this summer."
 
Attendees will kick off the night at 6 p.m. with the Big Bash, held at the David Lawrence Convention Center.

ESX Big Bash
Named the "best electronic security industry party of the year," the ESX Big Bash will include beverages, hors d'oeuvres and live music by The Atlantic All Star Band. Vocalists of this 5-time Emmy Award-Nominated band have toured and recorded with popular artists, including Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Steven Tyler and Elton John. The event, sponsored by Broadview Security and Security America RRG, will conclude in time for dinner and some crawling through the animated city of Pittsburgh.

ESX Club Crawl
The ESX Club Crawl, sponsored by ADI, begins at 7:30 p.m. and includes some of Pittsburgh's most notable hotspots. Crawlers will sample three destinations as the night wears on: McFadden's, the North Shore Saloon and Mullen's.
    
At the first destination, ESX crawlers will enjoy 30 high-definition flat-screen-televisions, riverfront seating and a large hopping dance floor at McFadden's. At the next stop, ESX crawlers will enjoy a wrap-around fully equipped bar and a realistic, dine-on football field at the North Shore Saloon. And the night is not over yet. The night's crawl will end at Mullen's, where live music and karaoke will be offered in an ESX private area. 

Registration for the ESX Big Bash and other selected events are required. See http://www.esxweb.com/register for registration details.
