ISC West 2017: My Takeaway

This year’s ISC West expo shows just how far the security industry is willing to go.

For the Good of the Industry

ISC West, this year, was as good as I ever remember. It seems to me that manufacturers' booths were filled with attendees, and foot traffic was very good until the last minute. SIA should be proud of the way they represent this industry, and this tradeshow.

It's Been Fun, Vegas

I have to say this have been the best show I’ve been to. The number of attendees, companies to check out, and the latest technologies out there proving that the future of the security industry is here, I’m a little sad the show is over. I’m already gearing up for next year.

What a Terrific Tradeshow

Yesterday was just like the old days at the tradeshow. Lots of activity, foot traffic and well educated attendees. I think security has successfully made the rebound.

Another successful ISC West is in the books. Yesterday, the exhibit floor opened up at ISC West. After an amazing keynote, some great opening ceremonies, and listening to a marching band that was on point, attendees knew that this year was going to be top notch.

Not a Newbie Anymore

Last year was my first time at ISC West and on top of that, I had only been working in the security industry for six months when I took my first trip out to Sands Expo. I didn’t know what to expect, but when I came out on the other end I knew that I had become apart of something great.

Expanding Access Control At ISC West

My favorite thing about coming to ISC West is figuring out what the trends are and how they mold the evolution of the products, solutions and integrations of the security industry. This year, one of the first things that stood out to me was within the access control vertical.

Paydirt at the Sands

This is our first tradeshow as Security Today, as a new format and look. Security Products magazine had a run of 20 years, and our thoughts for change come as the security industry, more the technology side hones what products are already on the market, and how manufacturers are improving on what they offer.
