More than 170 attendees turned out for the first Secured Cities conference, produced by Cygnus Business Media, including Securityinfowatch.com; Security Technology Executive; Security Dealer & Integrator; Law Enforcement Technology; Officer.com; and Law Enforcement Product News.
Held at the Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel in Atlanta, the conference was sponsored by vendors Anixter, Axis Communications, Ciber, Cisco, Firetide, Milestone Systems, Pivot3 and Siemens. Cisco also was the official sponsor of the networking reception held during the two-day event.
Billed as the premier conference on municipal video surveillance, the inaugural event was expected to have some 95 to 100 in attendance, and well-surpassed those numbers with its 170+ registered attendees.
Geoff Kohl, Secured Cities conference director and editor-in-chief/associate publisher of SecurityInfoWatch.com opened the conference by thanking attendees and indicating that the time for municipal video systems had certainly come. "This is the first conference dedicated to municipal surveillance," Kohl said. "Before this, cities had to figure all this out on their own, but that's no longer the case."
