ESA has begun registration for the 2026 Electronic Security Expo, set for June 1–4, 2026, in Irving, Texas.
DALLAS — The Electronic Security Association (ESA) announced that sign-up is open for ESX 2026, the annual gathering where “the brightest minds in the electronic security and life safety industry unite for education, innovation and high-impact networking.” The event is described as “where the business of security meets the future of technology,” the ESA announcement adds. This meeting will take place June 1–4, 2026, at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas.
Known across the security field as the recurring monthly revenue (RMR) educational event of the year, ESX “brings together integrators, dealers and monitoring professionals who are ready to take their businesses to the next level,” the announcement states. Created by security experts for security experts, ESX 2026 will include “peer-led education, cutting-edge solutions and exclusive access to industry leaders, all aimed at helping attendees grow recurring monthly revenue (RMR) and elevate their competitive edge,” according to ESA.
“ESX has built a reputation as the place where the industry’s best come to learn, share, and connect,” says George De Marco, ESX chairman. “Our mission is to provide a collaborative environment where security professionals can strengthen their businesses, explore innovation and prepare for the future.”
Early-bird registration for ESX 2026 runs through April 10. A team of five or more earns a 10% discount and a team of ten or more receives a 20% discount. (These rates do not apply to Expo Only and spouse passes, but they count toward group totals.)
What attendees will find at ESX 2026:
- More than 30 educational sessions covering RMR growth, leadership, field operations, monitoring, sales, marketing and related topics.
- An expo floor featuring the latest products, live demonstrations and insider approaches from top security manufacturers.

Attendees are encouraged to reserve accommodations at ESX’s official hotels early. All are steps away from the Irving Convention Center: The Westin Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas, Texican Court and Holiday Inn Irving Las Colinas. Special ESX rates are valid through May 8, 2026.
“As the premier event designed by and for security professionals, ESX 2026 is more than a conference; it’s a catalyst for growth, innovation and connection across the electronic security and life safety industry,” says the ESA announcement. “Whether you’re focused on scaling your RMR, strengthening operations or staying ahead of the technology curve, ESX delivers the insights and relationships to help your business thrive.”
