NORWALK, Conn. — ISC East 2024, with its premier sponsor the Security Industry Association (SIA) and in partnership with the ASIS NYC Chapter, welcomed almost 6,000 security professionals to the Javits Convention Center in New York City Nov. 19-21, according to an announcement today.
Over three days, ISC East “showcased premier keynote speakers, educational sessions, professional development, and over 200 exhibitors displaying the latest innovations in the field,” the announcement says.
This year’s turnout “continued to display year-over-year growth for general attendance,” with more than 4,600 attendees, according to ISC officials. The SIA Education@ISC East program achieved growth of more than 40 percent, the announcement says.
“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,” says Mary Beth Shaughnessy, ISC Security Events vice president, in the announcement.
“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,” she says.
What You Missed at ISC East 2024
ISC East 2024 featured the largest SIA Education@ISC East program, curated by the newly formed SIA Education@ISC Advisory Board, with more than 70 sessions and more than 15o speakers.
The advisory board “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,” according to the announcement.
“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,” says SIA CEO Don Erickson in the announcement.
“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,” he says.

The Critical Infrastructure Pavilion was also new to ISC East this year. Exhibitors in this area “displayed how critical infrastructure impacts transportation, energy, and communications and how to protect these essential services from cyber-attacks, 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 a lineup of speakers, education sessions and other exclusive events. Located on the show floor, The Bridge was home to the Keynote Series, which featured “prominent experts making waves in today’s security landscape.”
