When all was said and done, ISC East 2015, sponsored by the Security Industry Association (SIA), announced an 8 percent increase in attendance and a sold-out showroom floor with more than 210 exhibitors (claiming more than 50 of them as new); 18 SIA Education@ISC education classes on topics relevant to the security industry such as wearable cameras, campus security and smart home; and a large Featured Product Showcase at the Javits Center in New York. According to Senior Vice President of ISC Events Ed Several, the show floor was 3,000 sq. ft. bigger than last year’s show.
To help the long conference days go a bit smoother, OneRoof, Ganz Security, Connectwise and ZKAccess sponsored the official ISC East Golf Simulator, challenging attendees to take a break and test their swing. Former Major League Baseball (MLB) right fielder, Darryl Strawberry, was also in attendance, signing autographs in Rapid Response’s booth. ISC and Genetec joined in on the fun by inviting everyone to crack the tap at a networking reception, before heading to SIA Honors night at The Current at Chelsea Piers to celebrate the past year of accomplishments within the industry.
