ISC Quest

Day one of the 2009 ISC West tradeshow left no doubt in my mind: the security industry is alive and well in this troubling economic time. The show floor was packed, and although there were whispers that attendance is down, I honestly couldn’t see a difference in the crowds from last year’s show.

Nothing Down About This Year’s ISC West Show

Rumor has it that tradeshow officials expected fewer people this year. My very unofficial count says that there are more people at this year’s event. If not more, the aisles are surely crowded and the people attending have a keen interest in being here. Seems to me that attendance is up over last year and the tradeshow is a success. That’s day one in the books and, it will be interesting to see if the crowds are as heavy Thursday.
