Sponsors
Seventeen years ago, conference sponsors Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney and Barnes Associates recognized the need within the security alarm industry for more financing sources, and have been instrumental in creating a conference where members of the lending and investment community have the opportunity to meet with, and learn from, the industry’s leaders. The conference format consists of a combination of panel discussions and presentations by industry leaders, with an emphasis on exploring new trends and opportunities within the industry. Simply put, this is a deal conference where investors, lenders, borrowers, buyers and sellers can efficiently network in a relaxed setting.
