ELECTRONIC SECURITY EXPO
2025 Networking Events
The UNevent for Quality Interaction and Collaboration.
The ESX Community is a group of passionate professionals who share, learn and brainstorm each year to elevate their game — both personally and professionally. To create and support this community, ESX focuses on quality engagements and creative ways to encourage interactions and break the ice. It’s time to rethink what an industry event should offer. Stop settling for shallow interactions that leave you lost in a crowd — and join a community of passionate security professionals ready to make a difference. This is ESX. Looking for security networking events? You’re in the right place.
