The Monitoring Association (TMA) opened registration for OPSTech 2026, taking place Aug. 31 – Sept. 2, 2026, in Dallas, Texas. The interactive event brings together operations leaders, technology innovators, monitoring center professionals and solutions providers from across the monitoring and security ecosystem.

A highlight of the program will be the featured monitoring center tour, hosted this year by TMA member COPS Monitoring. “We look forward to welcoming industry peers and sharing how our people, processes and proprietary Generations platform support resilient, dependable wholesale alarm monitoring every day,” said Jim McMullen, president and COO, COPS Monitoring. “COPS Monitoring has been delivering redundant monitoring since 2004, and our Lewisville location has been an important part of that strategy since opening in the first quarter of 2012.”

Through facilitated discussions and interactive sessions, OPSTech attendees will gain actionable insights on topics such as artificial intelligence, automation, video monitoring, operational efficiency and leadership. Participants are encouraged to bring their toughest operational challenges and collaborate directly with peers who understand the day-to-day realities of running and supporting modern monitoring centers.

“OPSTech brings together operational leaders and technology experts who are actively shaping the future of professional monitoring,” said Alan Gillmore IV, president, TMA. “After experiencing OPSTech for the first time in 2025, it reinforced for me how critical it is to stay current with emerging technologies and best practices, and how valuable it is to do so by coming together with peers at gatherings like OPSTech.”

The 2026 OPSTech program will feature dynamic discussions, collaborative sessions and networking opportunities designed to strengthen relationships across the industry while delivering practical solutions attendees can immediately apply within their organizations.

Additional program details, including speakers and session topics, will be announced later this summer.
