Back to the Future

By Ralph C. Jensen

Catchy title for a movie, right? Seems like ISC West is back and the future looks strong.

For starters, it’s terrific to actually see old friends, and opportunity to make new acquaintances.

Traffic on the show floor was amazing, and I’m hoping today’s event is just as strong.

There are numerous new solutions, of which you’ll find in our post-tradeshow electronic Product Showcase.

Manufacturers are genuinely excited to show off new technology. End users and integrators I’ve talked to are pleased with what they see, feel and examine.

Yes, it’s nice to be back in person.

My media friends and I were able to visit with dealers and partners of Altronix on Tuesday evening. Al Forman throws a bash to get it all started. We’ve been doing this for a few years now. Thanks Al, great to see you.

Wednesday morning was the annual Axis Communications press breakfast. It was a terrific presentation of Martin Gren and Fredrik Nilsson explaining partnerships, consistency and forward thinking. Thank you gentlemen, nice breakfast and great to see you to kick off the show.
