SUMMARY:Keynote Luncheon: How the Best Leaders Stay Competitive\, Profitable and Future-Ready
DESCRIPTION:Keynote LuncheonThe Curiosity AdvantageHow the Best Leaders Stay Competitive\, Profitable\, & Future-ReadyThe electronic security industry isn’t slowing down—and neither are your customers\, competitors\, or operating costs.  \nToday\, you are expected to grow recurring revenue\, adopt new technology\, retain talent\, and differentiate in an increasingly crowded market—often with fewer people and tighter margins. You don’t need an innovation department to succeed\, but you do need a better way to see what others are missing.  \nIn this high-energy\, business-focused keynote\, bestselling author Diana Kander shows how curiosity becomes a competitive advantage for security integrators who want to grow smarter—not riskier. Based on The Curiosity Muscle\, this session delivers practical tools leaders can use immediately to uncover blind spots\, challenge outdated assumptions\, and identify new opportunities hiding inside their existing business.  \nThis is not theory or “blue-sky” innovation. It’s about asking better questions—of your customers\, your team\, and your operations—to drive differentiation\, efficiency\, and sustainable growth.  \nAttendees will leave ESX thinking differently about their business\, spotting opportunities faster\, and leading teams that adapt before they’re forced to. \nAbout This Speaker\nHow To Turn Yourself and Your Organization into an Innovation Machine.Diana Kander is an innovation nerd – she spent the first decade of her career as an entrepreneur\, launching 10 companies in 10 years\, while selling millions of dollars of products and services.  \nShe spent the next decade coaching innovators inside large organizations; at one point she served as the innovation coach for the executive team of a $100 million dollar project.  \n  \nVideo Link goes in section ( it should be 1920×800 px )Key Takeaways:Turn curiosity into a business discipline that keeps your company competitiveAvoid the “expert trap” that causes companies to miss opportunities Ask better customer-focused questions that lead to stronger positioningBuild a culture of practical innovation that delivers resultsTrue creative work exists in the gap between what you have and what you think you need. The ESX Keynote Luncheon will provide the tools your team needs to become more innovative.\nThe 2026 Sara Jackson Award Winner Will Be PresentedThe Sara E. Jackson Memorial Award\, which honors the memory of the 1950-51 ESA President\, recognizes an ESA volunteer who has exhibited exceptional leadership skills on an ESA committee\, task force or board. \nThe award is graciously sponsored by Telguard\, ESA’s exclusive Platinum Executive Strategic Partner. \nAbout this Speaker\nTalking Point 1Played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (1988–2009)\, spending all but his final year with the Atlanta Braves. \nTalking Point 1Played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (1988–2009)\, spending all but his final year with the Atlanta Braves. \nTalking Point 1Played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (1988–2009)\, spending all but his final year with the Atlanta Braves. \nTalking Point 1Played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (1988–2009)\, spending all but his final year with the Atlanta Braves. \nTalking Point 1Played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (1988–2009)\, spending all but his final year with the Atlanta Braves. \nTalking Point 1Played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (1988–2009)\, spending all but his final year with the Atlanta Braves. \nESX Opening Keynote Luncheon\nThe 2026 ESX Keynote Luncheon is held on the ESX Main Stage.
