Online Registration Now Available

October 5, 2010 – The Electronic Security Association (ESA) is now accepting online registrations for the Conference and Meetings Segment of the 2011 Leadership Summit being held Jan. 11-13, 2011, in Irving, TX. Security professionals are now able to register at www.ESA-Summit.com/register/conference.

This year’s Leadership Summit will offer two distinct segments: a Hosted Guest Segment and a Conference and Meetings Segment. The second half of the Summit—the Conference and Meetings Segment—will offer hosted guests and registered attendees (1) seminars and presentations on business, industry and association leadership topics, (2) social and networking events, (3) association committee meetings and (4) meetings with vendor sponsors.

The Conference and Meetings Segment of the Leadership Summit will kick off on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 4:00 p.m. Attendees are invited to attend the Vender Showcase Viewing, where they can secure some quality one-on-one time with the top vendors in the industry. Following this, the Summit will hold its Extravaganza, a VIP reception, dinner and awards event held at Cowboys Stadium. Attendees will enjoy a backstage security tour of the world’s largest domed structure, exploring this record-breaking NFL facility just three weeks before it hosts the 2011 Super Bowl. (A separate registration fee is required to attend the Extravaganza.)

"We’ve really upped the value of this year’s Summit," said Joe Nuccio, chair of the Leadership Summit Advisers. "I think Conference and Meetings Segment attendees are going to find out very quickly that there’s a lot more information sharing, a lot more networking and, in short, a lot more opportunities that security professionals are really going to appreciate.”

Education at the Summit will offer insights into the hottest trends in the security industry and includes presentations from some of the most successful security companies in the country. General sessions include “Security and Mobile Applications,” “Strength in a Weak Economy” and “Awesome Alchemy: Turning Public Safety Connections into Gold.” Seminars will cover information age marketing, effective employee recognition programs, profiting from service and maintenance businesses and more.

ESA is also encouraging attendees to reserve their hotel rooms early at the headquarter hotel, the Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas, where the conference, meetings and general sessions will take place.
