Showcase Your Innovation to the Security Industry’s Top Decision-Makers 

Designed to spotlight innovation that delivers real-world value, the ESX Innovation Awards celebrate manufacturers and service providers whose solutions are helping security integrators, dealers, and monitoring professionals navigate an evolving industry. The 2027 ESX Innovation Awards will be presented during ESX 2027, taking place June 28–July 1 in Tampa, Florida.

The ESX Innovation Awards provide an opportunity to showcase innovative solutions before the security industry’s most influential business leaders. Award recipients receive industry-wide recognition and earn the opportunity to compete in the ESX TechVision Challenge, a live presentation where Innovation Award winners pitch their solutions to a panel of integrator judges for the chance to earn the coveted Best of Show Award. 

“The Innovation Awards aren’t just about recognizing great products. They’re an opportunity for manufacturers and service providers to put their solutions in front of the industry’s key decision-makers,” says George De Marco, Chairman of ESX. “ESX brings together owners, executives, and business leaders responsible for evaluating technology investments and driving growth within their organizations, making it the ideal place to gain meaningful exposure, build valuable relationships, and start quality conversations.”
