TMA’s 2025 Opstech Welcomes Record-Breaking Attendance

The Monitoring Association (TMA) welcomed over 150 monitoring and security professionals to Addison, TX, Nov. 11-14^th, for its 2025 OPSTech.

TMA’s 2025 Opstech annual meeting drew the most attendees in its five-year history. Over the course of three days, attendees took part in dynamic sessions and interactive roundtable discussions led by respected industry leaders and technology innovators.“From the opening Welcome Reception to the closing workshops, this year’s OPSTech was exceptional,” shared TMA President Alan Gillmore, IV. “I was among a record number of first-time attendees this year. I took away actionable intelligence that I plan to readily implement in my own business. Moreover, I had the opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues from across the industry and meet new colleagues and thought leaders. The opportunity to engage one-on-one was invaluable.”

“OPSTech keeps getting better and better – there was a great mix of technical, process ideas, and personnel ideas. Of course, the networking is powerful as well,” shared Bryan Broadhead, principal, Cogent Security Advisors.

Meeting attendee and monitoring center veteran Sandi Villanueva, executive vice president, Administration, Superior Central Station, Inc., described the meeting as “the best experience in my career.” Adding, she found the people and the sessions to be “just amazing.”

One of the highlights of the meeting each year is a tour of a state-of-the-art monitoring center. This year, attendees visited ECAM. A North American leader in AI-driven live surveillance technology solutions, ECAM has the continent’s largest footprint of monitored mobile and permanent surveillance units. With a vision of Every Camera Always Monitored, ECAM combines the world’s most advanced AI-driven live video surveillance technology with human expertise to deliver real-time protection.
