PSA TEC 2021 Hybrid Format to Include In-Person Component

DENVER — PSA Security Network is moving forward with plans to host an in-person component for PSA TEC 2021 in early May, while announcing the conference’s educational programming will be held in a virtual format.

Held annually, PSA TEC is a premier education and networking event for systems integrators. The conference offers industry-leading education and certification programs, networking and dedicated exhibit hours designed to advance the skills and expertise of industry professionals nationwide. Last year’s event was cancelled to due to the coronavirus pandemic.

PSA TEC 2021 is scheduled to be held May 3-6 at Denver’s Downtown Sheraton Hotel.

This week, PSA Director of Marketing Candice Aragon explained in a video announcement the organization decided to convert PSA TEC 2021 to a “hybrid model” based on data it received from the hotel and the city.

“You may be wondering what a hybrid model entails. PSA plans to deliver premier education to our network whatever it takes,” Aragon says in the video. “That means we’ll be converting the majority of our sessions to a virtual platform while still having our speakers present to you live from their offices.”

She continues, “This will allow for the greatest amount of interaction between speakers and attendees. The remaining sessions will follow an executive leadership track and be presented live and in person at the Sheraton in downtown Denver.”

PSA will follow safety protocols to ensure the space is clean, social distancing is possible, masks are used, and all necessary safety precautions are taken, she continues.

The systems integrator cooperative is working with its vendor partners to convert the certification courses to a virtual model to deliver technicians the training they need to keep integration firms on track for success, she explains.

The full list of certifications is available on the PSA TEC certifications page. Registration will open for PSA owners and members on Feb. 8; non-members, Feb. 15.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers. Gunshot detection provider ShotSpotter filed a lawsuit against media company Vice, alleging it is profiting off of fabricated claims. Vice has been critical about ShotSpotter’s technology in a multitude of articles. Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
