LAS VEGAS — ISC West 2026, set for March 23–27 at The Venetian Expo, is offering comprehensive security education, cutting-edge technologies and quality networking experiences — while going one step further. Recognizing the evolving security industry landscape, the show has created featured areas on the expo floor where the next generation of security innovation will be showcased.
According to Mary Beth Shaughnessy, Event Vice President at ISC Security Events, these featured areas will help attendees have cross-disciplinary conversations that may not be offered at other trade shows, allowing them to find strategies for the latest challenges the security industry faces.

“Cybersecurity is no longer a standalone concern — it is a core pillar of modern physical security,” Shaughnessy said. “As digital and physical systems converge, we felt it was vital to create dedicated spaces where organizations can rethink how they protect people, assets and operations in an increasingly connected world.”
To help attendees rethink their responses to security threats, ISC West created these segments:
- The Digital Trust & Identity Area, which focuses on the evolution of identity as the new perimeter that helps security professionals build access systems that are seamless and more secure. Here, the latest innovations will come to life through demonstrations.
- The ISC® StartUps Area is designed to expose attendees to emerging technologies while giving exhibitors a high-visibility platform to showcase the security solutions they offer. ISC West has curated these early-stage companies based on their innovations, fresh business models and bold ideas.
- The Security Experience Center will take attendees into the future with themed pods that represent different areas of a commercial building. This immersive experience will familiarize them with the latest approaches to weapons detection, video surveillance and cyber threat management in an integrated environment.
- The Cyber & Connected IoT space will highlight how unified protection can be delivered through the integration of IoT-enabled devices and cloud platforms.
The themes for the featured areas were based on a collaborative and data-driven evaluation of ISC West’s programming to identify topic gaps and create new opportunities to form strategic partnerships. Also, featured areas utilize AI tools, which is part of the show’s efforts to integrate more AI solutions into the event.

“We’ve evolved the educational component by introducing platforms like Rozie Synopsis, which provides real-time translations and personalized learning recommendations to help attendees navigate these zones more effectively,” Shaughnessy added.
All of this will create a memorable experience for attendees and exhibitors alike, demonstrating the value ISC West offers.
“This solidifies ISC West as the premier destination for innovation,” Shaughnessy explained. “By hosting over 800 exhibiting brands and 30,000 industry professionals, these featured areas ensure we remain the most comprehensive event where the future of the industry is defined.”
