Thank you to everyone who came out last week to the SS&Si Roadshow in Richmond and Raleigh. Great learning, great conversations, and a lot of good networking.

Kevin Dunham (Maryland Branch Manager) represented SS&Si for both stops.

And a huge shout out to Jon Kennedy (Senior Account Manager). Jon couldn’t make it in person, but he put in a ton of work over the last few months coordinating and helping make this happen.

Shout out to our partners for the incredible collaboration: Alarm.com, DSC, IQ, CHeKT, and COPS Monitoring.

We’ll be in Texas + Louisiana at the end of this month for Roadshow South! Register for our next stop here: https://shop.ssandsi.com/roadshow-south-26/

But now, it's time to announce the winner of our drawing and a $500 Visa gift card. Drum roll please.....

Congrats to Dominic Rizzo from Rizzo Automation!! 🎉Thank you for letting Jake live vicariously through you.

Happy Birthday, Jo Lynne and Andrew!

ISC West is great. The Yardbird lunch is better.

40 dealers, one table, hot chicken, and real conversation. No agenda, just the people who make this industry go.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us at ISC West! You're why we keep doing this.
