Dear readers and attendees,

On behalf of the entire ISC Security Events team, and our premier sponsor, the Security Industry Association (SIA), thank you for joining us at ISC West 2023! Get ready to explore 650 industry-leading exhibitors and brands, meet with thousands of security and public safety professionals, and network with our industry associations and sponsors. Over the course of the week, we will address some of the most pressing security challenges facing our society today. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in thoughtful discussions, share valuable insights, and explore innovative solutions to challenges.

The SIA Education@ISC program will feature 85 education sessions and over 200 speakers, along with new education tracks focused on Leadership and Workforce Development, Security Megatrends, and Cybersecurity. ISC West will also host three high level keynote addresses from SALTO Systems, Women in Security Forum and Jim Mercurio and John Bertsch.
