More than 200 exhibitors provide a glimpse of the future for security owners and executives. Each year, the Electronic Security Expo (ESX) affirms that its possible to offer a diverse show floor that is large enough to spotlight next-gen security products and services, yet manageable for security professionals to tour and drill deeply into any category.

After listening to keynote Tom Avery, a British Explorer, present his extreme and unique experiences about traveling to the North and South Poles on foot, Electronic Security Association (ESA) President John Knox and Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) President Jay Hauhn officially cut the ribbon to open the ESX show floor at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN.

As more than 2,000 industry professionals crowded the halls, 200-plus exhibitors in 32,000 square feet of exhibit space gave attendees a glimpse of industry trends and new technologies.

All of the key categories were represented, including video, access, intrusion, fire, and monitoring technologies, as well as insights on converging product opportunities like automation, information technology, and audio/video.

Jointly owned and sponsored by ESA and CSAA, ESX is the only major national show focused exclusively on the needs of electronic security integration and monitoring companies.

However, its more than just a trade show ESX provides an exceptional blend of educational sessions and networking events.
