ASIS International and the Security Industry Association have announced the official programming for the 2026 Security LeadHER conference. The event, scheduled for June 15-16 at the Hilton Minneapolis, is designed to support the professional growth of women in the global security industry.

The fourth annual gathering features a curriculum focused on leadership, personal excellence, and career management. Key sessions include deep dives into executive presence, personal branding, and strategies for navigating power dynamics within male-dominated industries.

New to the 2026 program are off-site security tours. Attendees may participate in an exclusive look at the Target Corporate Command Center, featuring a demonstration of the company’s artificial intelligence programs, or a tour of the Mall of America security operations and the Axis Experience Center.

The conference is a joint effort between the two leading membership associations for the security profession. Organizers stated the event serves as a platform to amplify the voices of women and equip them with practical strategies to address complex industry challenges.

Registration is currently open for the two-day event, which includes keynote presentations, peer-to-peer roundtables, and networking sessions.

Luma x20

Snap One has announced its popular Luma x20 family of surveillance products now offers even greater security and privacy for home and business owners across the globe by giving them full control over integrators’ system access to view live and recorded video. According to Snap One Product Manager Derek Webb, the new “customer handoff” feature provides enhanced user control after initial installation, allowing the owners to have total privacy while also making it easy to reinstate integrator access when maintenance or assistance is required. This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”

A8V MIND

Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
