Acrobats, altered perceptions, screaming, and other absurd occurrences marked an event held last month in Las Vegas. It wasn’t a new Cirque du Soleil show — it was the 2015 ISC West tradeshow and conference held at the Sands Expo & Convention Center, featuring many unique demonstrations and events. This year’s show featured more than 1,000 exhibitors displaying more than 10,000 products, both on a main floor and inside a large-area Global Expo.

For at least the first two show days, April 15 and April 16, the aisles were packed full of attendees, and exhibitors experienced steady streams of show traffic in their booths. “Thanks @ISCEvents! Great foot traffic at our @UTCBIS booth. #ISCW15” tweeted @Interlogix at the close of ISC West on April 17.
