Franchise owners of The Flying Locksmiths and FlyLock Security Solutions from locations around the country attended ISC West which was held in Las Vegas, NV. Our nationwide organization got together for our national convention at ISC West because it’s the most comprehensive security trade event in the world. Numerous access control system manufacturers and professionals from the security industry attend this event annually to stay up to date with the latest and greatest in access control technology.
To best serve our customers, we also must stay at the forefront of this technology to ensure we offer up-to-date solutions in the always evolving security industry. Whether it’s an access control system, cctv security camera, video surveillance system, building intercom, automatic door operator or electronic gate opener, if it has anything to do with access control, it’s on display at this event.
Apart from the trade show, our national convention is a time for owners to connect, share ideas, experiences, best practices, successes and even some failures. Coming together to discuss their businesses and how best to operate them is crucial when being part of the largest connected network of access control specialists and commercial locksmiths in the country. Communication is the key to building a successful organization and all of us grow together by telling, and listening to, stories that help strengthen and grow our network.
Ok, so that's just a little prelude to why we attend an event such as ISC West and hold our national convention there. So let’s cut to the chase and see what happened during our time in Las Vegas. Here are some photos from our convention and the trade show.
ISC West Trade Show Photos
ISC West is no small trade show, it so massive and there are so many great access control products and security solutions to see. Thankfully the exhibit hall is open for three days because you can't possibly make it through the entire tradeshow floor in a day. And for the first time every they had a concert, headlined by The Wallflowers, which was a nice touch to an already amazing event!

Dinner @ The Flight Club - Las Vegas
After a day of informative presentations about access control systems, security cameras, intercom systems and various other security solutions, it's time to enjoy some food and fun! We decided to throw darts, no not at each other, at dart boards. We ended up at a very cool place and we all highly recommend it. The Flight Club is not only in Las Vegas, they have numerous locations and it's a ton of fun.

After the second day of networking and presentations we concluded our national convention with an awards dinner for the entire organization. Security franchise owners got to enjoy some food and drinks while having an opportunity to talk about their security businesses with fellow owners.
Award Winners
Owners from across the country accepting awards for various accomplishments, such as top sales, largest access control project, highest percentage of growth, best customer service, most community engagement and other awards.
Let's Have a Raffle... Vegas Style
We can't conclude a convention without having some fun with our owners. There were some really nice raffle prizes and some very funny gage gifts too. It was hilarious seeing the reactions on everyone's faces when a good prize (or not so good prize) was picked. It was so entertaining!

With a successful convention completed and a few days of learning about the latest security solutions on the market, we took to the streets and had some great times with plenty of laughs while walking around Las Vegas!
