Serai will detail how AI is reshaping the world of security. She is leading the charge on AI innovation, digital transformation and leveraging video surveillance to deliver actionable intelligence that helps businesses protect their people and profits.
“AI is flipping the script on security—turning cameras into sensors, footage into foresight, and alerts into action,” says Serai in the ESA announcement. “At Zeus, we’re not just adapting to the future, we’re engineering it. I’m excited to join the ESX Main Stage and unpack the tech that’s redefining the industry.”
Wooton will demonstrate how IoT and security are meshing, creating unprecedented collaboration that enhances customer experiences and better outcomes for alarm verification. Specializing in creating quick turnaround solutions to real problems using systems engineering, Wooton is both an engineer and entrepreneur and has an ever-growing list of granted and pending patents.
“I’m very excited to share the stage with pillars of the security industry at ESX 2025,” he says in the ESA announcement. “I look forward to sharing insights on system-level solutions and their potential impact on the world of physical security.”
Reilly will showcase the future of monitoring technologies revolutionizing alarm dispatching for integrators, monitoring centers and emergency communications centers. He is a client-focused leader who has a passion to serve those who provide safety and security services in the communities where we live, work and play.
“We’re at the dawn of a new era in public safety,” says Reilly in the ESA announcement. “Advancements in digital alarm dispatch are not just improving emergency response efficiency, they are redefining how we anticipate, prevent and protect against critical incidents.
“As part of this panel, I am thrilled to explore how we’re reshaping emergency communications and showcase how these innovations are enabling faster, smarter, and previously unimaginable response outcomes for both public safety and the alarm industry,” he says.
“This gathering of industry visionaries represents the perfect intersection of innovation and practical application,” says George De Marco, ESX chairman and moderator of the OpenXchange Breakfast, in the ESA announcement.
“AI, IoT and advanced monitoring technologies are not just transforming our industry,” he says. “They’re redefining what’s possible for security and creating competitive advantages that forward-thinking companies can’t afford to ignore.”
