ESX 2026 Will Embrace Southern Charm with a Touch of Sparkle
By Merlin Guilbeau
I’m excited to announce that Irving, Texas will host the Electronic Security Expo (ESX) conference and trade show, taking place June 1-4, 2026. The event will be held at the state-of-the-art Irving Convention Center, located in the vibrant heart of the Toyota Music Factory.
As the headquarters of the Electronic Security Association (ESA), Irving holds special meaning for the industry. Hosting ESX 2026 in this dynamic and centrally located city brings the event “home,” creating new opportunities for connection, collaboration, and celebration.
ESX is more than just a trade show – it’s an immersive, peer-to-peer educational conference designed by and for electronic security and life safety professionals. One of the event’s core focuses is on strategies for growing and maximizing recurring monthly revenue (RMR), a critical component of long-term business success in the security industry. Attendees will gain actionable insights, hear real-world case studies, and exchange ideas with peers facing similar challenges and opportunities.
Located just minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), the Irving Convention Center offers unmatched convenience for travelers. With modern architecture, flexible event space, and walkable access to dozens of restaurants, hotels, and live music hotspots, the venue sets the stage for an unforgettable week of learning, networking, and innovation.
The surrounding Toyota Music Factory district is a hub of activity, featuring world-class dining, nightlife, and entertainment. Whether they are enjoying a concert, grabbing dinner with colleagues, or unwinding after a day of sessions, attendees will find no shortage of things to do in Irving.
Beyond the business of the show, ESX 2026 is also a chance to embrace a little Lone Star flair. Attendees are encouraged to dust off their boots and put on their best denim and diamonds for an unforgettable Texas experience, full of southern charm, hospitality, and a touch of sparkle.
In addition to its entertainment offerings, Irving boasts an impressive array of outdoor experiences, from scenic canals and parks to nearby golf courses and cultural attractions. Its central location lies within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, which also makes it easy for visitors to explore the broader region.
With its deep roots in the Electronic Security Industry, Irving, Texas is more than just a host city, it’s a place where innovation meets hospitality. The Electronic Security Expo looks forward to welcoming security professionals from across the country to experience all that Irving has to offer in 2026.
