Here’s a look at what attendees experienced at this year’s ESX:

Day 1 — Monday

ESA Meetings
ESX 2025 officially kicked off with a series of key ESA gatherings. The ESA Associate Member Meeting and the ESA Annual Meeting brought security pros together to talk shop, reflect on the industry’s growth, and set priorities for the future. The Annual Meeting was a standout moment as attendees celebrated the association’s accomplishments, welcomed fresh faces to the ESA Board, and looked ahead to what’s next for the electronic security and life safety community. It also served as the stage for some of the week’s most meaningful recognitions including the presentation of the Stan Martin Excellence in Advocacy Award to David Fisch, Pat Shea Remes honored for a lifetime of industry dedication, and Lifetimer Awards to Dom D’Ascoli and Jamie Orvis.

Executive Leadership Workshops
This year’s Executive Leadership Workshops gave security leaders an invaluable opportunity to recharge their leadership approach and tackle the human side of running a business.

Part One, “Battling Burnout: How the Best Leaders Inspire, Support, and Motivate Teams”, was led by acclaimed speaker Michael Bonner, who shared practical, real-world strategies for combating burnout, building resilient teams, and leading with empathy. Attendees walked away with actionable ideas to foster a culture of inspiration and sustainable, high-performance work environments.

Part Two, “Leadership in Depth: Three Questions, Three Leaders”, speakers Shannon Woodman CEO – Washington Alarm, Jordan Jackson CEO – Security Central Inc. and Jeremy Bates President – Bates Security & VP of Business Development – Pye-Barker Fire & Safety took things a step further offering a candid look into how top executives navigate tough decisions and apply strategic thinking in real-world scenarios. This engaging forum equipped participants with smart, tactical leadership insights to enhance team performance, bridge the gap between strategy and execution, and drive sustainable growth.

Together, these workshops delivered exactly what ESX is known for: business-shaping education tailored for today’s security leaders.

Opening Celebration
