Harvey Eisenstadt Sales Symposium
The CAA Harvey Eisenstadt Sales Symposium is where colleagues from inside and outside the industry present sales-based seminars. The purpose is to share knowledge and wisdom on all matters that will elevate our industry’s salespeople. The sales training content will be applicable to dealers, integrators, manufactures and service providers and will be free of pitches of product, services, or self-promoting efforts, but rather sales training from peers and experts.

The Executive Symposium delivers a powerful message from key executives in their organizations within the electronic security & life safety industry. This dynamic panel will provide the insights needed for owners, entrepreneurs, and executive management to lead their companies in disruptive times. Topics which will be discussed include trends and how it will impact future IoT, consumer behaviors, commercial and residential market, acquisition activity, including DIY, specifically as it relates to our industry.
This year at the CAA Winter Conference we welcome three inspiring executives from our Women In the Security Evolution, “WISE”, group on the panel. Kelly Bond, Joey Rao-Russell and Audrey Pierson will share their perspectives and insight on where the security industry is steering us. Be inspired, informed and impacted with real world directions at this year’s CAA Executive Symposium lead by security veteran and leader George De Marco on Friday, December 8th in San Francisco.
