Registration Opens for 2026 OPSTech Conference

The Monitoring Association launches registration for its late-summer operations and technology event in Dallas.

Professional monitoring and security leaders can now secure their spots for an interactive industry gathering scheduled for later this year.

The Monitoring Association announced that registration is officially open for its annual OPSTech Conference, which will take place from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 in Dallas. The event serves as a central meeting point for operations managers, technology innovators and security solutions providers across the monitoring ecosystem.

Unlike standard corporate conventions, this gathering prioritizes peer-to-peer engagement and practical, collaborative problem-solving. Attendees will participate in open dialogues and working sessions designed to address real-world operational challenges, sharing strategies to streamline modern monitoring centers.

Facilitated discussions this year will focus heavily on emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, video monitoring, operational efficiency and leadership.

A central highlight of the three-day program is an exclusive, firsthand tour of a local operations hub. This year, COPS Monitoring will host attendees at its Lewisville facility to demonstrate the infrastructure behind large-scale, redundant wholesale alarm monitoring.

Organizers plan to release the full program schedule, including specific session topics and guest speakers, later this summer. Reduced early-bird registration rates are available for association members who sign up before mid-July.
