The Monitoring Association (TMA) welcomed over 150 monitoring and security professionals to Addison, TX, Nov. 11 – 14, for its 2025 OPSTech. The annual meeting drew the most attendees in its five-year history. Over the course of three days, attendees took part in dynamic sessions and interactive roundtable discussions led by respected industry leaders and technology innovators. 

“From the opening Welcome Reception to the closing workshops, this year’s OPSTech was exceptional,” said Alan Gillmore, IV, president, TMA. “I was among a record number of first-time attendees this year. I took away actionable intelligence that I plan to readily implement in my own business. Moreover, I had the opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues from across the industry and meet new colleagues and thought leaders. The opportunity to engage one-on-one was invaluable.”

Bryan Broadhead, principal, Cogent Security Advisors, said, “OPSTech keeps getting better and better; there was a great mix of technical, process ideas and personnel ideas. Of course, the networking is powerful as well.”

One of the highlights of the meeting each year is a tour of a state-of-the-art monitoring center. This year, attendees visited ECAM, a North American company in AI-driven live surveillance technology solutions.

The dates and location for the 2026 OPSTech will be announced shortly after the New Year.
