The event celebrated not only the winners but also the robust recovery of the trade show industry since the pandemic.

Held at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, in collaboration with premier sponsor the Security Industry Association (SIA) and hosted by RX, ISC West 2023 showcased an environment where innovation and creativity came to life. As safety continues to dominate headlines, ISC West addressed society’s most pressing security challenges throughout the four-day event and broadened the industry’s horizon to bring the most advanced products, services, and solutions to security novices and experts alike. In 2023, attendees had the opportunity to engage with industry experts, make professional connections, share valuable insights, and explore today’s most cutting-edge solutions to physical and cybersecurity challenges in a hands-on setting.

ISC West 2023 welcomed over 27,000 security industry professionals, including more than 650 exhibitors displaying their latest technologies. Post-show attendance numbers totaled over 18,000 attendees alone, marking an increase of 56.2% from ISC West 2022. Additionally, the 2023 show saw an 89.6% increase from 2022 for SIA Education@ISC session attendance. As an industry very eager to return to in-person events, ISC West 2023 experienced significant growth with heavy foot traffic on the show floor from open to close.
