ISC East 2024, with its premier sponsor the Security Industry Association (SIA), and in partnership with the ASIS NYC Chapter, presented another year of dynamic programming as the Northeast’s security and public safety event.
Over three days, ISC East showcased premier keynote speakers, educational sessions, and professional development, and over 200 exhibitors displayed the latest innovations in the field.
SIA Education@ISC East programme
From Nov. 19 to Nov. 21, ISC East welcomed nearly 6,000 total security professionals to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
2024’s turnout continued to display year-over-year growth for general attendance, with more than 4,600 attendees. Adding to the success, the SIA Education@ISC East programme achieved over 40% growth, underscoring the value of ISC East’s educational offerings.
Public safety
“Both our attendees and exhibitors gather at ISC East to discover the industry’s latest products and solutions, cultivate professional relationships, and celebrate the biggest innovations in the world of security and public safety,” said ISC Event Vice President Mary Beth Shaughnessy.
“Over the three-day event, we saw attendees who were eager to learn from industry experts and conduct business face-to-face with new and existing vendors, which all contributes to a maximised customer experience year after year.”
