Twenty years later we finds ourselves in New Orleans. Twenty years ago the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina forced exhibitors and attendees to look elsewhere for tradeshow floor space.

All looks well today. GSX is hosting a good event thought a little on the light side for day one.

I’m perfectly fine with that because I like getting without playing dodge with the human element.

One thing I found interesting is the conversation on AI. Nearly everyone has it, or so they declare. I think some think they have it and are working toward that end. When all is said and done, AI will have come and made its statement and something new will be on the horizon. Let’s see what happens in the next 20 years. Securitas has released it newest edition of 2026 Global Technology Outlook Report.

It’s slick, it’s cool and it is packed with peer knowledge and reasoning. Securitas’ clients partner to provide keen insight in order to shape about 114 pages.

It is good reading regarding electronic security products, systems and services to help each one of you cut through the noise to make a well thought out plan.

Day Two should fill the of the curious security expert and the novice seeking life changing career tips.
