It has been two years or so since the last ISC West trade show, the biggest security show in the U.S. market. The coronavirus pandemic has caused a year’s worth of trade show cancellations, and the trend will continue for a while longer.
The absence of trade shows has been transformative for the security marketplace, among others, as companies implemented a variety of alternative approaches, with mixed results. We asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: What impact has the cancellation of trade shows had on the security industry?
In the 1977 book, The Age of Uncertainty, author John Kenneth Galbraith wrote, “All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.”

Ryo Mizuno emerges as the surprise choice by Honda to compete in teh 2021 British Superbike Championship alongside Glenn Irwin
Honda has confirmed it will head into the 2021 British Superbike Championship with a revised rider line-up with Ryo Mizuno set to make his debut for the manufacturer alongside the retained Glenn Irwin.
The Japanese manufacturer bounced right to form in 2020 with the launch of the new Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, with Andrew Irwin leading brother Glenn across the line for a stunning 1-2 result in both its debut and the following second race.
