The Electronic Security Expo (ESX) is quickly becoming the “UNevent,” redefining the traditional purpose of industry shows within the electronic security and life safety channel, the organization described in its ESX 2018 wrap-up. The event, held June 19-22 in Nashville, stated its mission was “to bring leaders together to learn more, share more and interact more.”

More than 2,000 professionals registered for the show this year, with nearly 40 percent being first-time registrants. Most attended for four days of networking, quality connections with peers and vendors, and some of the industry’s leading education.
