Why ISC West Remains the Premier Marketplace for Security Technology

April 21, 2026

I was excited to attend ISC West at the Venetian Expo Center in Las Vegas from March 23–27. Year after year, ISC West stands as the most influential gathering in physical security, public safety, and security‑driven technology. It’s where innovation, investment, and operational strategy converge. The 2026 event once again drew tens of thousands of leaders and more than 700 exhibitors, reinforcing its role as the industry’s central marketplace.

The Talent Gap Is Real. The Opportunity Is Bigger.

April 20, 2026

The exhibit and event industry is expanding. The talent pipeline to sustain it may not be. That is not a workforce issue, necessarily. It is more of a visibility issue.
Most young professionals do not know this career exists. They graduate with degrees in marketing, design, communications, and business, yet few are introduced to an industry where creativity meets strategy, where logistics meets storytelling, and where real-time problem solving drives measurable business results.

Women in Leadership: the View in LATAM

April 20, 2026

Across the global exhibition industry, leadership roles—particularly at the CEO and executive level—remain predominantly held by men. While this imbalance exists worldwide, it is often more pronounced in Latin America, where cultural norms, structural barriers, and limited access to executive networks have historically slowed women’s advancement to top decision-making positions.

Waiting Through The Ages

Have we as a culture really changed that much in 100 years? Have we really advanced as a society? Has technology really had the great impact we think it has?

April 3, 2026

Overlooking the scenic San Antonio River Walk, the Henry B. González Convention Center (HBGCC) (900 E. Market Street) stands as a centerpiece of the city’s vibrant downtown and one of Texas’s premier event venues. Built as the San Antonio Convention Center in 1968 for Hemisfair ‘68, its name was changed in 1977 to honor Congressman Henry B.

“Reflections in D” : Mentors and Musicians

April 1, 2026

“I’ll play it and tell you what it is later.” Miles Davis mutters these words into the microphone at the beginning of “If I Were A Bell” and I have never found a clearer explanation of what jazz is. It is what it is. That’s jazz. If you look at the sheet music, there are a few markings for key changes and modes, a little phrase the musicians wanted to remember, and not much else.

Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Spotlight

March 30, 2026

Opening in 1957 as the Dallas Memorial Auditorium, the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center (KBHCC) (650 S. Griffin Street) has gone through multiple expansions and a few name changes throughout the decades. Renamed the Dallas Convention Center in the 70s, the center’s final name came in 2013, in honor of former U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.

When the Experience Becomes the Brand Message

March 27, 2026

In today’s events, audiences rarely remember a specific slide or a particular sentence from a presentation. What tends to remain is the experience surrounding that moment: the atmosphere in the room, the visual energy of the stage, the rhythm created by light and sound, and the way the environment supports the story being told.

Forthcoming Austin Convention Center

March 27, 2026

In keeping with Texas’ expansion and redevelopment of convention centers (see our Dallas CC Spotlight) Austin is revamping the Austin Convention Center (500 E. Cesar Chavez Street), but in a typically Texas big way: the old Austin Convention Center was demolished to make way for an entirely new venue due to open in September of 2029 (just in time for South By Southwest). The project’s named Unconventional ATX and plans to create a bigger, newer convention center with the latest in tech, amenities, and more.

Laying in the heart of downtown Houston, George R. Brown Convention Center (GRB) (1001 Avenida de las Americas) was named after Houston entrepreneur, philanthropist, and civic leader, George R. Brown. The Texas Eastern Transmission Company (of which Brown was an investor) donated over half the real estate needed to build the center, which opened in September of 1987. It replaced the old Albert Thomas Convention Center.
