ISC West and ISC East, both sponsored by the Security Industry Association (SIA), were named to Trade Show Executive's Fastest 50 Lists for extraordinary growth. Both shows will be honoured at TSE’s Fastest 50 Awards & Summit, taking place June 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. ISC East was named one of the “Fastest 50” growing shows in the country by Net Square Feet of Exhibit Space. ISC West was included in the “Next 50” list for its impressive growth in total attendance.

This is the third time that ISC East has been recognised by Trade Show Executive

Educating security professionals

The ISC brand has been an icon in the security industry for 50 years. ISC West & East – the portfolio’s flagship events – are constantly evolving to educate security professionals on the tools and skills needed to protect against today’s emerging cyber and physical security and safety threats and the anticipated ones of tomorrow. ISC West 2018 will take place at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV (SIA Education@ISC: April 10 – 12 | Exhibit Hall: April 11 - 13). ISC East 2018 will take place at the Javits Center in New York City from November 14-15. Both events are on target to grow again in 2018.

This is the third time that ISC East has been recognised by Trade Show Executive. Over the past year, ISC East’s show floor has grown by 14 percent in terms of square footage, showcasing more new companies and brands. ISC West, already recognised as the largest converged security event in North America, grew once again in 2017 with a three percent attendance increase, further supporting its stance as one of the most important gathering points for the industry to learn, network and source products.

SIA’s educational program at ISC West

In addition to exhibits, the ISC Security Events offer an education program accompanying both ISC East and ISC West. Through its partnership with SIA, ISC West in April is able to offer a comprehensive educational program for its 30K+ attendees from all industries, roles and functions across physical, IT and IoT security. SIA Education@ISC will begin a day prior to the exhibits (April 10), with 85+ plus accredited sessions touching on a range of vital and timely industry topics, from video surveillance to access and ID management to connected homes to IoT to unmanned security.

It’s encouraging to see both ISC East and West recognised among the tradeshow elite for their continued growth and massive impact,” said Will Wise, group vice president of the ISC security portfolio at Reed Exhibitions. “Trade Show Executive is a leading industry publication that provides the knowledge and expertise that conference organisers can use to make their shows bigger and better each year. We’re pleased to see our name alongside these other renowned expos across all different verticals and look forward to continue growing in the converged security space.

Collaboration with PSA Security Network

This year the ISC Security portfolio is also launching two new events. Cyber:Secured Forum is an education-driven conference that takes place June 4-6 in Denver, CO. The event, which was launched in collaboration with the Security Industry Association and PSA Security Network, focuses on actionable best practices in delivering cyber-hardened physical security systems.

The Unmanned Security & Safety Expo, which takes place alongside ISC East in November, is an all-new event focused on drones and robotics, as well as drone detection for commercial and government security and safety use-cases.
