Chief Harper to deliver speech at Expo’s Industry IceBreaker Luncheon

ESX officially welcomes Nathan Harper, Pittsburgh’s Chief of Police, as featured speaker of its Industry IceBreaker Luncheon. The luncheon, sponsored by Vector Security and Guardian Protection, will be held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center on Tuesday, Jun. 15 at 12:30pm.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity of speaking at this year’s ESX Industry Icebreaker Luncheon,” says Chief Harper. “I welcome the security professionals to the City of Pittsburgh and I look forward to strengthening the link between private security and law enforcement.”

Chief Harper is responsible for overall operations of the Bureau of Police, including formulation and control of the annual Bureau budget, development and dissemination of police directives to the Bureau, coordination of training regimens and fostering of communication among the various facets of the Police Bureau.

Harper, a 33-year-veteran of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, is devoted to his community. This lifetime advocate of public safety mentors youth and promotes unity through his participation in local community groups and faith-based organizations.

Harper has been the Chief of Police since his appointment by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl in October 2006. Prior to his appointment, Chief Harper served as Assistant Chief of Investigations, Assignment Chief of Administration and Commander of Narcotics where he was in charge of 97 Detectives responsible for investigations, wiretaps and vice investigations.  He worked closely with the FBI, Attorney General’s Office, DEA, State and County Police on joint investigations involving gangs, prostitution, and money laundering crimes.

During the luncheon, the Security Industry Alarm Coalition William N. Moody Award and the Police Dispatch Quality Award will be presented to this year’s winners.

Pittsburgh – an exciting venue for ESX 2010!

February 18th, 2010 No comments

By Melissa M. Courville, Client Services & Head of Marketing, DICE Corporation

Finding out that Pittsburgh is the next stop for the industry-changing ESX conference was a thrill!  Having lived in Pittsburgh for a few years, with family ties to the area, it’s easy to fall in love with the city that mixes both history and the NOW, harmoniously. From the architecture of the widely-renowned PPG building, Heinz Ketchup factory and Andy Warhol museum, to the bustling shops at Station Square and beauty of Point Park, Pittsburgh was deservedly voted one of the safest and cleanest cities in the United States, and has been for years.

ESX has already become a highlight in my plans, where security life meets industry-specific networking.  The ESX event continues to be a focal point for security integration and monitoring companies with showcases for the ESA Weinstock/Jackson Awards, CSAA anniversary and the SDM Gala, as well as the niche-focused tradeshow, seminars and conferences.  As the head of marketing for DICE Corporation, I’m very glad that we’ve continued to invest in and make it our commitment to attend each event.  The rewards are priceless.

ESX Promotes Industry Mingling in Pittsburgh

February 18th, 2010 No comments

Big Bashing and Club Crawling Mean Major Networking Opportunities at Expo

Pittsburgh will buzz this summer as Electronic Security Expo (ESX) attendees mix, mingle and move the industry forward. On June 16, the Expo – praised for its valuable networking opportunities – will host two special events: the ESX Big Bash and ESX Crawl.

“If you’re in the security industry, the ESX Big Bash and ESX Crawl are premier events for networking with other security professionals,” says John Knox, president of Knox Integrated Systems. “At these events we’ll have a good time, forget about business for a while and build relationships. I’m looking forward to all the new and familiar faces I’ll be seeing in the beautiful city of Pittsburgh this summer.”

Attendees will kick off the night at 6 p.m. with the ESX Big Bash, held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

ESX Big Bash

Named the “best electronic security industry party of the year,” the ESX Big Bash will include beverages, hors d’oeuvres and live music by The Atlantic All Star Band. Vocalists of this 5-time Emmy Award-Nominated band have toured and recorded with popular artists, including Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Steven Tyler and Elton John. The event, sponsored by Broadview Security and Security America RRG, will conclude in time for dinner and some crawling through the animated city of Pittsburgh.

ESX Crawl

The ESX Crawl, sponsored by ADI, begins at 7:30 p.m. and includes some of Pittsburgh’s most notable hotspots. Crawlers will sample three destinations as the night wears on: McFadden’s, the North Shore Saloon and Mullen’s.

At the first destination, ESX crawlers will enjoy 30 high-definition flat-screen televisions, riverfront seating and a large hopping dance floor at McFadden’s. At the next stop, ESX crawlers will enjoy a wrap-around fully equipped bar and a realistic, dine-on football field at the North Shore Saloon. And the night is not over yet. The night’s crawl will end at Mullen’s, where live music and karaoke will be offered in an ESX private area.

Registration for the ESX Big Bash and other selected events are required. See www.esxweb.com/register for registration details.

Electronic Security Expo Sets Trend Among World’s Leaders!

September 25th, 2009 No comments

After ESX announces its plans, G-20 taps Pittsburgh for upcoming summit

The Electronic Security Expo (ESX) 2010 Where Leaders are Made is already living up to its name.

The G-20 Summit, a gathering comprised of the world’s leaders from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the U.K. and the United States, has chosen Pittsburgh for its September 24 and 25 meeting – confirming our choice as the host city of the 2010 ESX.

With every city in the world available to host this historic event, why did the G-20, countries that represent 85 percent of the world’s economy, choose Pittsburgh?  According to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, “It’s an area that has seen its share of economic woes in the past, but because of foresight and investment is now renewed – giving birth… to the jobs of the future.”

That may be the official line but we know they chose Pittsburgh because they can get a sandwich six inches tall packed with meat and cheese and stuffed with french fries and cole slaw at one of the world’s best places to pig out, Primanti Brothers.  We also know that they probably want to party at Pure, the nightclub located above Isoldi’s Italian restaurant featuring three-bars, multiple bottle lounges and a glass dance floor.

World leaders know that when they get bored, they can sneak out to see the Andy Warhol museum or ride original 1877 cable cars up the Duquesne Incline to see the view ranked by USA Today as the second most beautiful in America. Sure, Pittsburgh is home to 100+ billion-dollar companies and has been called one of America’s most livable cities, but world leaders really want to have a screaming good time at Kennywood, one of only two amusement parks in the country designated as a National Historic Landmark. Or they may want to pause for a moment to enjoy what they don’t have time to appreciate when they’re home – exotic and rare birds from their own countries at the National Aviary.

G-20 attendees wish they could view our personal video tour of Pittsburgh, hosted by Pam Petrow of Vector Security and Russ Cersosimo of Guardian Protection, but we’re reserving it for your eyes only at www.esxweb.com/video.

You can be a part of this international trend to have a working vacation.  Join us at the 2010 ESX June 14 – 18 in Pittsburgh:  Where leaders are made!  For ESX exhibiting information, please contact Shannon Murphy at 508-618-4224, smurphy@ae-ventures.com.
