This name change reflects the growth and transformation of the meeting, which now encompasses a three-day educational program, tailored not only for monitoring company operations, but for their installation operations as well.

According to CSAA’s Executive Vice President Steve Doyle, “Each year, NAMTSE has grown and evolved to the point where the meeting has something for everyone who is interested in improving their business, regardless of their respective size. Accordingly, we no longer distinguish between member or non-member companies, as the educational opportunities, the exposition and other events are open to all.

“We have found that there is a great need for central station and installing company education, as well as for networking at a relatively modest-priced venue. With our change to Montreal this year, the opportunity arose to change the designated name to reflect the continuing growth and diversification of the best educational venue in the industry” added Doyle.

NASS-EX 2005 has already received the support and endorsement of six state burglar and fire alarm associations.

The Preliminary Timeline and Schedule of Events will be out in the early fall of 2004. NASS-EX 2005 has secured very favorable rates in Montreal, a great city destination that has something for everyone at a very favorable exchange rate—entertainment, a decidedly European culture, history, nightlife, shopping and dining.

Since NASS-EX is not owned by a for-profit company, its revenues are invested in projects for the general benefit of the industry.
