“ESA is excited to bring back the traditional ESA Leadership Summit, while still offering the hosted guest and integrator seminar elements now flying under the ESI Forum name,” said Dom D’Ascoli, ESA President. “The association has so many volunteer leaders who mark the Leadership Summit as an annual must-attend event on their calendar; they gain tremendous value from the event."
"In 2011, the hosted guest segment was an overwhelming success. The new 2012 format allows us to offer both programs, serving the different needs of our members and volunteers. The events will be a huge success.”
The 2012 ESA Leadership Summit will provide exceptional resources for the association’s volunteer leaders to hone their leadership skills, especially at the chapter level. Additionally, attendees will enjoy the camaraderie they have come to expect from ESA events.
The ESI Forum will host the nation’s most successful security integration companies in an intimate setting. Guests will have exceptional opportunities for idea sharing and unparalleled networking. Additionally, the Forum will offer a parallel track of seminars for integrator and chapter staff conferees not participating in the hosted buyer program.
