Call for 2015 Annual Meeting Presentations

/1 Comment/in , /by

You are cordially invited to share your experience and expertise with your colleagues in the alarm industry. Others will benefit from your experience while you make a valuable contribution to the profession’s field of knowledge.  Our goal is to showcase topics that have a high impact and inspire discussion.  If you would like to enhance the knowledge and skills of your industry peers, CSAA wants to hear from you!

With the continuous effort to keep up with technology and its impact to the central station monitoring industry, this year’s presentations should address topics that are in the forefront of our minds – in other words: “What keeps you awake at night?”  Or perhaps, “What SHOULD be keeping us awake at night?”  Suggested topics include:

 Best Practices in Executive Professional Development

The Connected Everything

Cyber-Security – Is Your Company Protected?

The Do it Yourself Frontier

Insurance and the DIY Security Movement

Keeping Your Business Competitive and Relevant

The Legal Landscape of New Capabilities

Overcoming Challenges Caused by the Speed of Technology
