2026 Barnes Buchanan Security Conference

Join us at the Barnes Buchanan Security Conference, held at the luxurious hotel resort The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, for a premier gathering of industry leaders, investors, lenders, borrowers, and transaction professionals within the security alarm, fire and medical alert industries. This highly anticipated event offers a unique opportunity to network, explore new trends, and close deals in an elegant, relaxed setting. 

Celebrating 30+ Years of Industry Leadership

Since its inception, the Barnes Buchanan Security Conference has been at the forefront of connecting the lending and investment community with operators. Co-sponsored by Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney and Barnes Associates, this conference was born out of recognition of the need for more financing sources within the security alarm sector. Over three decades, it has become the go-to event for deal-making, trend analysis, and strategic networking. 

This year’s conference will focus on the evolving landscape of security alarm financing, exploring emerging opportunities, innovative deal structures, and the future outlook of the industry. Through a combination of engaging panel discussions and presentations by industry leaders—including our keynote: “Security Alarm Industry Overview & Update” presented by Michael Barnes of Barnes Associates—you’ll gain valuable insights into where the industry is headed and how to position your company for success. 

• • Stay Ahead of Trends: Understand the latest industry developments and future opportunities. 
  • Network with Industry Movers & Shakers: Connect with key players, investors, and decision-makers. 
  • Recognition of SDM’s Dealer of the Year: Celebrate excellence in the industry with our annual Dealer of the Year award. Last year’s honoree was Guardian Alarm—congratulations!
  • Beautiful Palm Beach in February: Enjoy the scenic surroundings and luxurious amenities of The Breakers.
