Just Announced! 2026 ESG Virtual Symposium and Call for Speakers

By Adom Yusuf, Senior Manager, Standards and Technology, Security Industry Association on June 9, 2026 |

SIA is looking for speakers to help us explore how the security industry can contribute to and is adopting environmental, social, governance and sustainability initiatives.

Save the dates! Put a hold on your calendar for Sept. 9, 2026, for a daylong virtual event packed with powerful sessions of dialogue and discovery at the ESG Virtual Symposium. This free and open-to-all event is co-presented by the SIA Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Advisory Board and Built Environment Advisory Board and will feature dynamic sessions on key topics in sustainability, environment, social and governance.

Sessions will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Sept. 9.

SIA is currently seeking speaker proposals for this exciting virtual event. If you have an idea for a talk or panel on how security solutions can contribute to environment, social, governance or sustainability or can share how one of your firm is taking ESG to the next level, we’d like to hear about it! Submit your speaker proposal by Tuesday, June 30, to be considered.
