From access control and video surveillance to artificial intelligence-powered analytics, cybersecurity and the Internet of Things, attendees will gain a comprehensive look at how physical and digital security are merging to protect people, data, and spaces. The exhibit hall will also feature returning attendee favorites such as The Bridge, Career Zone, Cyber Hub, the SIA New Products and Solutions Awards display area, and more.

The Main Stage at ISC West will once again serve as a central destination for insight and connection, featuring three impactful keynotes delivered by forward-thinking leaders. Adding even more excitement, the Main Stage will again host the fan-favorite ISC West Concert on Wednesday, March 25. This high-energy experience returns to deliver an evening of entertainment, camaraderie and celebration. The live show will spotlight a standout performer, with the talent announcement coming in January.
