ISC West 2023 Sees Substantial Growth in Attendees

NORWALK, Conn. – Touting impressive attendance figures, ISC West, in collaboration with premier sponsor the Security Industry Association (SIA), saw a robust 56% year-over-year gain in attendance for ISC West 2023, hosting over 27,000 security industry professionals in Las Vegas, March 28-31.

“As the nation’s leading comprehensive and converged security trade event of the year, attendance numbers from ISC West were remarkable, proving our industry is resilient and continuing to grow,” says Mary Beth Shaughnessy, ISC event vice president. “We held more than 85 educational sessions and saw 660 exhibitors showcase the latest technology and innovation on the show floor, creating a pre-pandemic atmosphere that left many attendees speechless.”

Compared to previous ISC West conferences, this year’s numbers were impressive, ISC West reports: Post-show attendance numbers totaled over 18,000 attendees, an increase of 56.2% from ISC West 2022. Additionally, this year’s show saw an 89.6% increase from 2022 for SIA Education@ISC session attendance figures.

“This year’s ISC West was a tremendous success, as measured not only by the strong show attendance but also in the quality of the SIA Education@ISC programming that was delivered,” says SIA CEO Don Erickson. “The value of this ISC West was seen also in the many meetings and special events that allowed the entire security ecosystem to come together on important topics like school security, standards development, cyber-physical security, protection of critical infrastructure and the growth of our industry’s workforce. The 2023 event reinforced why ISC West is considered the nation’s premier security event.”

ISC West 2023 highlights included:

  • A full roster of all-star keynote speakers: Theresa Payton, first female White House CIO, technology thought leader and cybersecurity expert; Jim Mercurio, former executive VP & general manager, Levi’s Stadium; John Bertsch, executive director of Global Safety and Security, IRONMAN Group; Joe Monroe, chief of police, University of Kentucky; and Alison Levine, first American women’s Everest expedition team captain.
  • A redesigned Bridge, which came to life for three days hosting sessions, award ceremonies and networking events.
  • Career Zone and Headshot studio, new for 2023.
  • SIA New Products and Solutions Award Winners, including: Best New Product Award: Alocity – Alocity Access Control Platform; Judges’ Choice Award: IPVideo Corporation – Sentry ERS; SIA NPS Merit Award: Bosch Security Systems; and Category Awards.

“But above all, the ISC West team wants to thank everyone who made this event possible, from exhibitors, speakers, partners, to our attendees. We want to thank you for bringing your energy and passion to ISC West. From all of the post-show feedback we have received, it appears our customers had a great show and everyone is now looking forward to future ISC Security events,” says Shaughnessy.

Later this year, ISC East 2023, the leading security event in the Northeast, in collaboration with premier sponsor SIA and in partnership with ASIS NYC, will be held at the Javits Center in New York City from November 14-16.

ISC West 2024 will take place April 9-12 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.
