Reed Exhibitions and ISC Events recently announced a partnership with PSA Security Network®
Reed Exhibitions and the ISC portfolio of events recently announced a partnership with PSA Security Network® which will have Reed managing and operating their yearly event, PSA®-TEC and PSA Security Network® developing unique educational content for security systems integrators at ISC West and ISC East. PSA®-TEC is an established training and networking event for the security industry, with a primary focus on security systems design, installation, and integration.

For thirty years, PSA®-TEC has continued to raise the bar as an industry leader in providing education for system integrators. Complimented by a growing trade show and unmatched peer-to-peer networking, PSA®-TEC offers intensive training across three tracks - business acumen, physical security, and IT - with courses for virtually every job function from senior management to sales professionals, purchasing agents, and technicians.

The management contract acquisition is expected to enhance the event's profile and reach, as preparations are underway for the event's next edition in May 2010. While PSA Security Network will maintain ownership, Reed Exhibitions will partner to provide a fresh approach to the event strategy.

"We are excited to partner with the PSA Security Network, particularly in the management of PSA-TEC, which is a vital event for the security integrator community," said Ed Nichols, Vice President of the ISC Events, "ISC's established background in producing security events and PSA's strength in the development of cutting-edge content makes for a powerful combination that will deliver incremental value to both the system integrators and manufacturers that participate."

As part of the agreement, PSA®-TEC will also provide education at both ISC East and ISC West as part of a new PSA®-TEC@ISC brand, debuting at ISC East this year.
