The Network That Actually Works

Coffee with the Exhibitors, ASIS Celebrates!, and awards events put you in the room with the people who’ve already solved what you’re working on. Use the time well.

Your Industry Has More in Common Than You Think

The challenges you face in your sector aren’t as unique as they feel. Swap strategies with peers from diverse environments and find the approaches worth bringing home.

Evaluate the Tools. Own the Recommendation.

500+ vendors means a real opportunity to compare solutions, ask hard questions, and walk back to your team with a shortlist you can actually stand behind.

See It Work Before You Sell It In

Live demos give you the confidence to advocate for new technology. Watch it in action, talk to the people who built it, and know what you’re recommending before you do.

For me, one of the key benefits of attending GSX is staying ahead of the curve. Technology is evolving rapidly across every industry—especially in security. Every time I come to this event, there’s something new: AI advancements, emerging tools, fresh approaches. As a small business owner developing in this space, GSX helps me stay current with the latest innovations and connect with key partners. Beyond that, it’s just a great place to build relationships, grow my network, and stay plugged into everything happening in the industry. I’m always glad to be here—learning, connecting, and moving forward.
