2010 TechSec Solutions Overview

Now in its sixth year, TechSec Solutions continues to live up to its reputation as the premier conference discussing IP-based technology's impact on the security marketplace. As IP's place in the market continues to grow, questions remain about return on investment, the skills needed to deploy and utilize this new technology, and just which products are ready for prime time.

While the market is finding that IP communication isn't right for every application, there's little doubt that every manufacturer, integrator, consultant, and end user has changed the way they do business to accommodate this new technology.

IP- and network-based security is firmly established and it's growing, fast. But it's not a walk in the park. End users still struggle to show the return on their IP-based investment. Integrators are still beating the bushes to find network-savvy technicians who can install these new systems. Manufacturers are still crafting standards and partnerships that will allow the market to grow without putting them out of business because of commoditized products.

TechSec offers an unparalleled schedule of speakers and forums in which to discuss the market's pressing issues. It's the place where the industry's thought leaders gather to hash out their differences and solve problems. Want proof? Last year, it was the only place in the world where representatives of SIA, the PSIA, ONVIF, BACNET, and the Smart Card Alliance all sat together on the same panel to discuss the future of standards in the security industry. Similarly, nowhere else could you find high-level executives from EMC, Pivot3, Intransa, and DNF all debating the finer points of video storage in one place.

This year, we continue to have the most unique and accessible conference format in the industry, where everyone -- security directors, IT professionals, integrators, consultants, distributors and manufacturers -- is a valued attendee, and everyone's participation is so highly valued that the exhibit hall is locked tight while it runs so that people manning booths aren't excluded. Further, the Technology Lightning Round, which will introduce some of the newest concepts in security, continues for a second year.

TechSec Solutions is a venue for hundreds of conversations. If you want to be successful in today's ever-changing marketplace, you cannot miss out on the opportunity to be part of this boutique educational experience. Don't get caught on the outside, listening in. Be a part of it and secure your future success.
