In Episode 7 of West to East, Lee Odess is joined by Mary Beth Shaughnessy, Event Director at RX, and Scott Dunn, Chair of SIA and Senior Director of Business Development at Axis Communications, for a deep dive into what’s ahead at this year’s ISC East in New York City.

They share how these innovations are designed to connect technology, people, and ideas across physical and cybersecurity.

Scott also highlights this year’s education program — featuring 75+ sessions and local New York perspectives — and offers a sneak peek at high-profile events like the SIA Honors Night and ASIS NYC Person of the Year Lunch.

Lee wraps up with insights on new initiatives including the Startups in Security Miniseries, the Trends Pavilion, and the End User Roundtable, showing how ISC East continues to evolve into a dynamic, community-driven experience for every corner of the security industry.
