DALLAS – The Electronic Security Association (ESA) today announces that its ESX 2026 keynote luncheon, entitled “The Curiosity Advantage: How the Best Leaders Stay Competitive, Profitable and Future-Ready,” is scheduled to be presented on the Main Stage by author and innovator Diana Kander on June 2 at 12:30 p.m.
Based on the book The Curiosity Muscle which she co-authored, Kander “likens curiosity to a muscle that needs to be exercised regularly,” according to the ESA announcement. “If not used, she contends, it can weaken, leading to blind spots and a lack of innovation within organizations.”
This keynote “is designed to guide attendees on how to embrace and embody the virtues of innovation,” the announcement says, noting Kander “will empower attendees to harness the power of curiosity to unlock new possibilities and drive business growth.”
Why Should You Attend the ESX 2026 Keynote?
“Curiosity isn’t a personality trait,” says ESX chairman George De Marco in the ESA announcement. “It’s a muscle you can strengthen. In an industry-facing workforce pressures, evolving customer expectations and rapid technological change, every role requires an innovator’s mindset.
“When you’re being asked to do more with less while staying relevant to customers, that muscle is the difference between those who adapt and those who get left behind,” he says.
Key takeaways from this year’s ESX keynote luncheon will include:
- How to institutionalize curiosity, asking better questions to stay competitive and relevant to your customer
- How to determine blind spots within your organization and avoid falling into the “expert trap”
- How to create a more innovative culture that leads to results and drives growth.
