Stone Security, a BearCom company, will officially launch CONNECT 2026: The Americas Tour on May 5 at its Global Technology Center in Las Vegas, following the tour’s introduction at its ISC West Open House.

CONNECT 2026: The Americas Tour is a multi-city regional event series designed to bring customers, partners and industry leaders together to explore how security, communications and operational technologies perform more effectively when connected. Built around the momentum of StoneConnect, the tour will showcase how video, access control, two-way radio, mobile assets, cloud, storage and alerting technologies can operate in sync to support stronger situational awareness, faster response and improved day-to-day operations.

The May 5 Las Vegas event marks the first stop in a tour spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, with additional stops planned across major regional markets, as well as select grand opening events.

“Customers have told us they want more than to hear about connected systems — they want to see them working in practical environments,” said Andy Schreyer, vice president of technology, Stone Security. “The Americas Tour is an opportunity to demonstrate how technologies that have traditionally operated separately can work together to improve response, efficiency and operational outcomes.”

CONNECT is designed as a hands-on, regional experience focused on outcomes for end users across security, IT, facilities, operations and public safety. Each stop will feature live demonstrations, customer use cases and collaboration with Stone Security, BearCom and ecosystem partners including Axis Communications, Milestone Systems, LenelS2 and Wesco.

“Following the response at ISC West, we saw an opportunity to take that momentum directly into local markets,” said Patrick Kilbourn, vice president of marketing, Stone Security. “The Americas Tour is about creating a regional experience where customers, partners and our teams can engage around real-world challenges, see what’s possible and continue building stronger connections market by market.”

Select stops will also support expansion initiatives and new office openings.
