ISC East attendance increases 25% over last year
ISC East 2023, Nov. 14-16, drew more than 5,700 industry professionals to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, according to show organizers.
Attendance numbers totaled over 4,400 attendees, an increase of 25% over the previous year’s event.
“As we opened the doors to ISC East 2023, the crowd buzzed with anticipation and excitement for the dynamic programming ahead of them,” said Mary Beth Shaughnessy, ISC Event vice-president in a statement. “That energy carried through the three-day event from our dynamic keynote speakers to our informative educational sessions, and opportunities for professional development, which all led to a heavily trafficked show floor.”
“The 2023 ISC East event was a tremendous success and continues to provide exceptional value as it connects the Northeast regional security community and delivers vital training and education opportunities,” added SIA’s CEO Don Erickson. “SIA thanks all the individuals and companies that contributed to this year’s success, particularly those that provided their expertise through the SIA Education@ISC conference program. We especially thank the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Chief Security Officer Greg Ehrie and the New York Police Department’s Chief Theresa Tobin for their ISC East keynotes addresses, which demonstrated the importance of public-private partnerships. I am also thrilled that SIA Honors Night was again a central part of ISC East activities by honoring those who have helped to advance our industry.”
