SPARCing Real Conversations: Security Practitioners Speak!

They’re still talking about 2025 panel of technical security practitioners from SIA’s SPARC community of end users. Maybe it was the honest feedback to the manufacturer and integrator community or the openness on what they shared about how they evaluate security solutions and vendors to match their needs. Whatever it was, it was clear this is the type of conversation that executives in the industry want to hear, and so this session returns for 2025.

In this session moderated by Dave Ilardi, president of Allegion Americas, and featuring experts Jedidiah Abrams, director of global security, aviation and investigations at Walmart, and Sobie Velasquez, vice president of physical security technology at Morgan Stanley, you’ll get candid perspective as always from top corporate security team members who are directly responsible for guiding and managing security solutions at their firms.
