SAN FRANCISCO — The California Alarm Association is currently hosting its 2013 Winter Convention at the Wyndham Parc 55 in San Francisco.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in numerous seminars and workshops geared to help companies improve their businesses, discuss the latest technology offerings and network with other industry professionals during the three-day event scheduled from Dec. 4-7.
A highlight each year at the event, the CAA Executive Symposium will be led by a panel of industry leaders who will share their thoughts on industry trends and challenges. This year’s group features Bosch Security Systems President of Sales Jeremy Hockham, Honeywell Security Products President Scott Harkins, and Qolsys Vice President of Sales & Marketing Mike Hackett.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda will deliver a keynote address on Dec. 6.
