The Electronic Security Expo (ESX), owned and produced by the Electronic Security Association (ESA), will extend expo hours at its 2026 event to accommodate increasing interest from security professionals.

“While many shows are seeing increases in end user attendance, ESX has stayed true to its niche and mission of serving the channel,” said Jillian Bateman-McIntosh, COO, ESA. “This is where decision makers from electronic security and life safety integration and dealer companies from across the nation gather to take their business to the next level. We are unwavering to our commitment to delivering an unmatched experience to help them do just that.”

By extending dedicated expo hours and programming, ESX aims to make it easier for attendees to see more technology — not for surface-level product demos, but to dig into how products and services can be implemented, sold, marketed and more to drive better business results.

2026 Dedicated Expo Hours

• Day 1: Tuesday, June 2: 2:00-6:00 p.m. An additional hour has been added to the expo on this day.
• Day 2: Wednesday, June 3: 12:00-3:00 p.m.

“Exhibitors asked for more face time with qualified buyers — and buyers asked for more time to evaluate critical categories like video analytics, cloud-based access control, fire alarm systems and more. This update is in direct response to that feedback,” said George De Marco, chairman, ESX. “Integrators learn from each other in classrooms — taking away tactical advice they can implement immediately. They can interface with the people, products and partners that can help them grow the business. It’s a comprehensive learning experience.”
