ESX is one of the fastest-growing trade shows in the country, a distinction that hasn't been lost on the industry's top monitoring and integration companies. The expo floor is already more than 70 percent sold for this year's event, which will be moving down the street from Nashville's Convention Center the new Music City Center.
More than 140 exhibitors were on board as of Monday, including 30 companies that weren't on the floor last year. Among the new participants from the monitoring world are Criticom Monitoring Services (CMS), Metrodial and SAFE Security.
Some of the busiest real estate at ESX 2013 is likely to be found at the NexTech Zone, where exhibitors focused on home automation, energy management, IT and interactive services will display the latest products and services. With Time Warner, ADT and other big players increasingly moving into this space, it's probably a good idea for central stations to stay ahead of the curve (or at least not fall behind it).
There also will be 10 educational sessions at ESX focusing on central station operations and technology. Topics range from how to find and retain quality operators (and customers) to the monitoring world beyond PERS, with some of the top names in the industry leading the discussions.
