IRVING, Texas — The Electronic Security Expo (ESX 2026) will kick off with the New ESA Member and Attendee Meetup on Monday, June 1 from 3:15-4:15 p.m. CT, providing “a dedicated opportunity for first-time attendees and new ESA members to connect before the full program begins,” according to an ESA announcement.
This exclusive meetup “is designed to help participants start strong,” the announcement says. Attendees “will have the opportunity to build relationships with peers, connect with ESA leadership and gain a clear understanding of how to navigate the event and maximize their time onsite.”
“From making key introductions to identifying the sessions, resources, and conversations that matter most, the meetup sets the foundation for a productive and valuable ESX experience,” according to the Electronic Security Association announcement.
Why is ESX 2026 Hosting a New Member Meetup?
“The businesses that see the most growth are those that are intentional about building relationships and learning from their peers,” says ESX chairman George De Marco in the association announcement. “This meetup is designed to ensure new attendees don’t just show up; they get connected, get oriented and get the most out of every moment at ESX.”
In addition to this kickoff event, ESX 2026 will feature a curated mix of peer-led education, executive level workshops, targeted networking opportunities and an expo floor.
“Every element is designed to deliver real-world strategies that help security professionals grow recurring monthly revenue, strengthen operations, and scale their businesses with confidence,” according to the ESA announcement.
The New ESA Member and Attendee Meetup is open to all first-time attendees and new ESA members.
