OPENXCHANGE BREAKFAST

Tuesday, June 2 | 8:00am-9:20am

Presented By AI Expert Jeff Schatten, Ph.D.

Get ready to see how artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming the electronic security and life safety industry —and why it’s time to take action. Companies you know are already executing AI tools for a competitive edge on hiring high-performing talent, marketing initiatives and supporting field operations.

This session will show you where AI stands today, where it’s going next, and how you can use it to stay ahead of your competition. Experience the amazing things AI can already do for your business — and the risks of ignoring it. You’ll walk away with a new way of thinking about what’s possible.

KEYNOTE LUNCHEON

Tuesday, June 2 | 12:30PM – 1:45PM

Presented by Author & Innovator Diane Kander

In today’s ever-changing business climate, your attendees’ roles have evolved far past their job descriptions. They face a volatile external environment and are being asked to do a lot more with a lot less – are being asked to be innovators. The big question is, are they doing it the hard way or the easy way?

Based on Diana Kander’s book, The Curiosity Muscle, this keynote helps members of organizations who don’t have innovation in their job description to embrace and identity as an innovator. Diana will empower attendees to harness the power of curiosity to unlock new possibilities and drive business growth.

GENERAL SESSION

Wednesday, June 3 | 10:30AM – 12:00PM

Presented by Three-time Super Bowl Champion Daryl "Moose" Johnston

In the ESX General Session, Johnston will unpack the habits that turn quiet potential into confident performance—and create a culture where people take ownership because they feel seen. As a leading fullback for the Dallas Cowboy’s Johnston was the main blocker for Emmitt Smith – an all-time NFL rushing leader and Cowboy’s Star playmaker. It was Johnston’s quiet selflessness and dedication to the team that made way for touchdowns.

CLOSING LUNCHEON

Thursday, June 4 | 11:45AM – 1:00PM

Presented by Barnes Associates President Michael Barnes

2026 will reward integrators and dealers who understand where the market is heading—and expose those who don’t. AI adoption, recurring revenue pressure, labor costs, and accelerating consolidation are already changing how security and life safety businesses compete, grow, and are valued.

In this session, industry expert Michael Barnes will break down the latest U.S. market data—revenue trends, operating benchmarks, and capital flows—and explain exactly what it means for making decisions about technology investment, pricing, staffing, and long-term strategy.
