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.

This energizing keynote turns AI from something futuristic into something real and ready for ESX attendees. It will inspire you to take bold steps that can have a major impact on how you do business today.
