The security industry is evolving rapidly. As organizations rethink how they protect people, property, and operations, technology is becoming smarter, more connected, and increasingly powered by AI.
That’s why events like ISC West matter.
From March 23–27, 2026, security leaders, innovators, and technology providers will gather at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas for one of the most important events in the global security ecosystem.

What is ISC West?
ISC West is the largest converged security event in the United States, and has been for decades. Organized by RX in collaboration with the Security Industry Association (SIA), the conference draws tens of thousands of security professionals to Las Vegas each year, from enterprise security directors and IT leaders to system integrators, consultants, and public safety agencies.
But ISC West 2026 isn't just another year on the calendar. The security industry is in the middle of a fundamental transition. Traditional video surveillance (recording footage to hard drives, scrubbing through hours of clips, reacting only after incidents occur) is giving way to a new paradigm built on artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and real-time intelligence. This year's show is where that shift becomes tangible.
With over 750 exhibitors, more than 150 education sessions from 330+ speakers, and dedicated new zones for digital identity, startups, and converged security experiences, ISC West 2026 is the place where the industry's future comes into focus. If you're responsible for protecting people, property, or operations, this is the event to attend.
The conference programming begins on Monday, March 23, with SIA Education@ISC sessions covering everything from AI strategy to data center security. The exhibit hall opens on Wednesday, March 25, and runs through Friday, March 27. This year introduces four new specialized education tracks: Digital Trust and Identity, Data Center Security, Perimeter Security, and Converged Security, reflecting the industry's rapid evolution.
What Coram is Bringing to ISC West 2026
At Coram, we've been building at the intersection of every trend on this list. Our AI-native platform was designed from the ground up to replace legacy video security with something fundamentally better: a cloud-first, camera-agnostic system powered by large vision models that turns passive cameras into intelligent security infrastructure.
ISC West 2026 is an opportunity for us to show security professionals how these capabilities work in practice, not just in a pitch deck. Here's what we'll be demonstrating:
AI-Powered Search: Discover & Journey
Type what you're looking for in plain English. Search for a person in a red jacket, a vehicle near the loading dock, a specific incident, and get the relevant footage instantly. Our Discover feature uses on-device foundation models to index every frame of video, so searches take seconds across hundreds of cameras. With Journey, track a person or vehicle across your entire site in a single click, eliminating the need to scrub through camera feeds one by one.
Custom AI Alerts Using Natural Language
Create real-time alerts for virtually any scenario by describing it in plain language. Whether it's detecting an unauthorized person in a restricted zone after hours, identifying a slip-and-fall in a warehouse aisle, or spotting a vehicle of interest by partial license plate. Coram's alert engine adapts to your specific site and operational needs without requiring custom model training.
Firearm Detection & Safety Alerts
For schools, healthcare facilities, and public venues, every second counts. Coram's AI can detect a visible firearm on camera and immediately trigger an alert to security teams, initiate lockdown protocols, and activate emergency notifications, collapsing response time from minutes to seconds.
Unified Access Control & Emergency Management
We'll showcase Coram's integrated platform that brings video security, cloud access control, and emergency management into a single interface. See how door events are automatically linked to video footage, how panic buttons and reunification systems work in real-time, and how administrators can manage multi-site security from one cloud dashboard.
Works With Any IP Camera: No Rip-and-Replace
One of the biggest pain points in the industry is being told you need to replace all your cameras to access modern features. At the Coram booth, we'll demonstrate how our platform works with your existing ONVIF-compliant IP cameras, layering AI-powered cloud intelligence on top of the hardware you already own. The result: enterprise-grade AI video security at a fraction of the cost of a full system replacement.

New to the show floor in 2026 is the Security Experience Center, an immersive space demonstrating how integrated security solutions function in real-world environments. There's also a dedicated ISC StartUps area for attendees interested in the next generation of security technology, and a Digital Trust & Identity zone exploring the shift from perimeter-based defense to trust-based protection.
5 Trends Defining the Show Floor This Year
Every year at ISC West, a handful of themes dominate the conversation. Here's what we expect to see everywhere in 2026, and why these trends matter for organizations evaluating their security strategy.
Plan Your Visit
ISC West draws nearly 30,000 attendees each year, and the show floor can be overwhelming without a plan. Here are a few tips to make the most of your time:
Register early. The exhibit hall is open March 25–27, but the SIA Education sessions start on March 23. If you're interested in the new Converged Security or Digital Trust & Identity tracks, you'll want to be there from Monday.
Pre-book your demos. The best booths fill their demo slots well before the show. If you'd like a dedicated walkthrough of Coram's platform, book your demo now so we can set aside time for a meaningful conversation.
Prioritize sessions on AI and cloud. The panels on cloud-era security and AI-driven video analytics are expected to be among the most attended this year. They offer vendor-neutral perspectives that are valuable for anyone making investment decisions.
Come with questions, not just business cards. ISC West is most valuable when you arrive with specific challenges you're trying to solve. The best vendors on the show floor (Coram included) would rather have an honest conversation about your needs than deliver a generic pitch.
