Welcome to Volume 15 of the Access Control Executive Brief! This one is a bit different as I wanted to share with you a video recording of a presentation I gave at The Security Event in Birmingham, UK, titled “Global Trends Impacting the Access Control and Smart Lock Industry.” In this presentation, I discuss the historical and current macro and micro trends impacting our industry and what you can do about it.

Please click on the image or link below to view the presentation.

If you would like to discuss any of what you hear in the presentation, please reach out either here, by text, or on Slack.

Also, quick side note, I am fresh off of PSA TEC which is notes as “the premier education and networking event for PSA professional systems integrators.”

Off to CREtech London! I will report back on what I saw, heard, and thought.

I hope you enjoy the Brief, and I am excited to get on Slack with you and discuss it!

Thank you,

PS: I am sure some of you may forward this on but please do so sparingly and encourage others to sign up here. Thank you!
