\n to spectator safety and security excellence through innovation. Alliance members work
\n alongside practitioners and the NCS4<\/sup>\u00a0to explore how people, processes and technologies can address safety and security
\n challenges in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n
\n providers come together to develop resources, support educational initiatives and
\n advance research efforts,\u201d said Anthony Palazzolo, NCS4<\/sup> manager of marketing and business development. \u201cWe are excited for the year ahead
\n with some returning and new solution providers that are eager to change the spectator
\n sport and entertainment security landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n and security solution providers and practitioners: Accredit Solutions<\/a>, ALUMA<\/a>, Axis Communications<\/a>, Esri<\/a>, eyeLock<\/a>, Genetec<\/a>, InControl<\/a>, inOrbit<\/a>, Raven Controls<\/a>, Red Ball Drills<\/a>, S2 Global<\/a>, SkySafe<\/a>, Titan HST<\/a>, Xtract One<\/a> and 24\/7 Software<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n of inOrbit and ALUMA, and Donald Paisant, vice president of security and guest services
\n for the Texas Rangers Baseball Club.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe pace of innovation across security technology is accelerating, but its value
\n is ultimately measured by how well it supports operations in the field. Through NCS4<\/sup>, the Alliance helps ensure that new capabilities are grounded in practical application
\n and contribute meaningfully to safer, more resilient venues. Over the past year, we
\n have made progress in growing the Alliance’s impact, including further formalizing
\n its processes, strengthening the development and dissemination of its products to
\n better support security professionals across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Technology Alliance. I\u2019m excited to see even more collaboration between technology
\n providers and end users to enhance and grow our ever-evolving industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n developments to close capability gaps. They also contribute to training and education
\n initiatives, provide research input, and participate in industry engagement and outreach
\n opportunities.<\/p>\n

\n 23-25, 2026, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa in Palm Desert, Calif.
\n The conference will attract over 500 attendees and 70 exhibitors representing professional
