Electronic Security Leaders Continuing to Apply for Hosted Guest Benefits

November 18, 2010 – Almost 20 companies from the SDM 100 list have submitted Hosted Guest applications for the 2011 ESA Leadership Summit, being held January 10-13 at the Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas, in Irving, TX.

For the first time ever, the 2011 ESA Leadership Summit will feature this Hosted Guest Segment, which will bring together more than 100 VIP guests, including the ESA Executive Committee, Board of Directors and committee chairs from integration companies and senior executives from high-dollar volume integration and monitoring companies, with more than 30 sponsor supplier companies. The just under two-day long segment will include quality vendor contact, entertaining networking events and education on the hottest security topics, including smart security solutions, security and mobile applications, security mega trends and more.

Decision makers from companies like ADT, APX Alarm, Vector Security and ASG Security, have already submitted their applications.

"When I first learned about the new Hosted Guest Segment of the Leadership Summit and all that it entails, I knew I had to be there," said Tony Mucci, Director of Process and Policy Engineering at ADT. "We haven't seen this style of event in the security industry yet and I'm looking forward to networking with folks from other SDM 100 companies, sharing best practices and learning about all the new products and services from vendors."
