1105 Media to Relaunch TREXPO

1105 Media, Inc., producer of the GovSec and Contingency Planning & Management events, and publisher of Security Products, is relaunching TREXPO in a strategic partnership with Bobit Business Media, publisher of Police.

“We are delighted to be able to work with Bobit to revive this terrific event,” said Neal Vitale, President & CEO of 1105 Media, Inc. “It reinforces our presence in the law enforcement marketplace, and deepens that dimension of GovSec.”

1105 Media will hold its first TREXPO event May 13-15, 2013 in Washington, D.C. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The event will be held jointly with the twelfth annual GovSec Government Security Conference & Expo and the Contingency Planning & Management Conference & Expo. More than 3,200 attended GovSec 2012, an increase of 29 percent over 2011. Visit govsecinfo.com for more information.

"Traditionally, law enforcement, military officials, and security professionals have attended TREXPO to meet knowledgeable instructors and vendors and experience the newest equipment available,” said Kevin O’Grady, President and Group Publisher for the 1105 Media Security, Safety, and Environmental Protection Group. “Colocation with GovSec will increase the opportunities for attendees to obtain valuable information and allow exhibitors to reach an expanded audience.”

“We feel this is a great opportunity for TREXPO and its participants,” said Ty Bobit, President and CEO of Bobit Business Media. “For years we wanted to find a venue for TREXPO in the heart of Washington, D.C., but it wasn’t practical to do it on its own.  Colocating TREXPO at the convention center with 1105 Media’s other fine events means that TREXPO has found a great new home at a perfect location enabling it to have more exposure to the law enforcement community.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
