“The many SIA meetings and special events that gathered the broader security industry together to connect on critical topics in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, school security, technology standards and more elevated the ISC and SIA member experience. The 2024 show exemplified why our ISC West is the nation’s leading converged security event.”
