Day 2 of GSX is in full swing, and if there were any doubts about the energy bringing the industry together this year, the show floor has completely put them to rest.
Walking the aisles today, the sheer volume of attendees has been almost overwhelming—and that is a welcome sight. Usually, you expect traffic to taper off just a bit after the opening morning rush, but Day 2 has kept up an incredible momentum. The energy across the exhibit hall is palpable, with bustling booths, deep discussions and an undeniable buzz around where security technology is heading next.
Of course, GSX has always been about the people just as much as the products. Last night was a perfect reminder of that. We had the pleasure of attending the Securitas Block Party, and it was a fantastic evening from start to finish. Good food—you really can’t go wrong with great hamburgers and desserts—and even better company. Taking a step back from the busy tradeshow floor to catch up with friends and colleagues in a relaxed setting is always a highlight of the week.
As we head into the second half of the show, I’m looking forward to keeping this momentum going, seeing what else the floor has to offer and continuing to catch up with as many of you as possible.
See you on the floor!
