Registration for ISC West 2026 has officially opened, with the Security Industry Association serving as premier sponsor. The event runs March 23–27 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, with SIA Education@ISC taking place March 23–26 and the exhibit hall operating from March 25–27.
In addition to the Education@ISC conference sessions and more than 750 exhibitors, the program will introduce several new areas on the show floor. Attendees can visit the Security Experience Center, the Startups Area and the Digital Trust & Identity Pavilion. A new ISC PRO badge offers expanded access and privileges.
The Digital Trust & Identity Pavilion will feature displays and live demonstrations focused on digital credentials, unified identity management and real-time verification solutions. Attendees can explore mobile credential applications, multi-factor authentication platforms and behavioral analytics tools. Panel sessions will examine regulatory standards, compliance challenges and emerging best practices for secure identity workflows. Experts will lead case-study demonstrations showing how digital trust solutions integrate into existing building and facilities management systems. Hands-on stations will allow attendees to test identity verification devices and user authentication flows under real-world scenarios.
ISC PRO, the premium expo hall badge, grants entry to an exclusive lounge, priority registration lines, VIP access to keynote Q&A sessions and early show floor entry. These benefits aim to help attendees make the most of their time at the event.
The Startups Area, which debuted at ISC East 2025, will return to Las Vegas. This space allows visitors to meet emerging companies alongside their founders and product teams and provides an early look at next-generation security technologies.
The Security Experience Center will guide attendees through a connected smart building mock-up that demonstrates how devices, data streams and analytics work together in real time to support security operations.
The SIA Education@ISC agenda includes over 120 sessions led by more than 280 industry professionals. Track topics cover Credentials and Biometrics, Data Center Security, Perimeter Security and Converged Security. The Credentials and Biometrics track will explore fingerprint, facial and other recognition applications. Sessions in Data Center Security will address access controls, environmental monitoring and fire suppression practices. Perimeter Security tracks will highlight detection sensors, barriers and video surveillance systems. Converged Security will focus on integrating multiple security layers into a unified threat management approach.
With over 750 exhibitors, ISC West continues to serve as a key platform for discovering solutions across categories such as access control, video surveillance, network security, IoT and system integration. Participants can explore new product launches, platform demonstrations and technical overviews from leading brands.
The exhibit hall will showcase returning features such as The Bridge, the Career Zone, the Cyber Hub and the SIA New Products and Solutions Awards display, among other attractions that highlight industry innovations. Attendees can join live demonstrations on The Bridge, submit resumes in the Career Zone, engage in panel discussions at the Cyber Hub and vote for their favorite entries in the awards area.
