ISC East 2024, sponsored by the Security Industry Association (SIA) and in partnership with the ASIS NYC Chapter, showcased keynote speakers, educational sessions, professional development and over 200 exhibitors.

From Nov. 19 to Nov. 21, ISC East welcomed nearly 6,000 total security professionals to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. According to the announcement, this year’s turnout continued to display year-over-year growth for general attendance, with more than 4,600 attendees. Adding to the success, the SIA Education@ISC East program reportedly achieved over 40 percent growth, underscoring the value of ISC East’s educational offerings.

“Both our attendees and exhibitors gather at ISC East to discover the industry’s latest products and solutions, cultivate professional relationships, and celebrate the biggest innovations in the world of security and public safety,” said Mary Beth Shaughnessy, vice president, ISC East. “Over the three-day event, we saw attendees who were eager to learn from industry experts and conduct business face-to-face with new and existing vendors, which all contributes to a maximized customer experience year after year.”

SIA Education@ISC East

The announcement states this year’s event executed the largest SIA Education@ISC East program yet, which doubled in size from last year with 70+ sessions and 150+ speakers — all carefully curated by the newly formed SIA Education@ISC Advisory Board. This team of industry experts provides critical guidance on the newest trends and most relevant technologies in the world of security to best inform show programming at ISC Security Events.

“The 2024 ISC East show was one of the best yet — boasting outstanding attendance as well as top-quality SIA Education at ISC East conference content, training courses and other offerings,” said Don Erickson, CEO, SIA. “Attendees at the show were able to see the most cutting-edge innovations in security, and the experience was further elevated by the highly engaging SIA meetings and special events that brought together our industry to explore essential topics in security interoperability, mobile credentials, the return on security and safeguarding our utilities and critical infrastructure, honor the exceptional work of SIA member leaders and volunteers and give back to the future of the security workforce. This year’s show highlighted why ISC East is the Northeast’s premier security and public safety event.”

SIA New Products and Solutions

New to the ISC East show floor this year, several product submissions from the SIA New Products & Solutions (NPS) Awards at ISC West 2024 had the chance to remain in the spotlight. With the debut of the dedicated NPS area on the show floor, exhibitors were able to showcase their latest solutions and attract potential buyers eager to discover what’s new and exciting in the industry.

Critical Infrastructure Pavilion

The Critical Infrastructure Pavilion was also new to ISC East this year. With this elevated focus, exhibitors displayed how critical infrastructure impacts transportation, energy and communications and how to protect these essential services from cyberattacks, intruders and other potential threats. The products and solutions showcased in this pavilion offered the tools to safeguard the systems we depend on every day.

The Bridge, ISC East’s newly revamped main stage destination, hosted an industry-leading lineup of speakers, education sessions and other exclusive events. Located right on the show floor, The Bridge was home to the Keynote Series, which featured prominent experts making waves in today’s security landscape.
