Security professionals to gather in Ottawa this June for expert talks, product showcases, and discussions on the future of video intelligence.
Wavestore, a leading provider of flexible and scalable video management solutions, announces Blind Spot 2025, a new one-day event taking place on June 26, 2025, at the company’s North American office in Ottawa.
Designed for consultants, integrators, and end-users, Blind Spot aims to spotlight the unseen forces shaping the future of security - from AI blind spots and evolving threats to missed opportunities in operational insight. The event will feature keynote speakers, thought-provoking panels, technology showcases, and meaningful networking.
In addition, attendees travelling from outside of Ottawa can claim a complimentary hotel stay. Register for your free ticket at www.wavestore.com/blindspot
“Blind Spot is about confronting what’s not yet visible - but already shaping the future,” said Sam Shalaby, CEO of Wavestore. “The security industry is evolving rapidly, and the greatest risks and opportunities lie in what we haven't seen - or haven’t acted on. This event is a chance to challenge assumptions, explore new perspectives, and take the lead on building smarter, more resilient solutions before the future forces our hand.”
Blind Spot features a curated line-up of speakers who’ve lived through critical inflection points in security - and are ready to talk about them:
- Keynote | Privacy vs. Security: Striking the Right Balance Raf Souccar, Former Deputy Commissioner of the RCMP, will open the day by unpacking the ever-relevant tension between public safety and personal privacy in modern surveillance and policy. Expect a thoughtful, nuanced take from someone who’s navigated that tightrope at the highest levels.
- Lessons Learned | Post-9/11 and the Evolution of Building Security Thomas Comerford, Former Program Security Manager at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, brings hard-won insights from decades in public infrastructure security. He’ll explore how past crises reshaped building and access strategies - and what still needs rethinking.
- Keynote | Physical Access Control: Principles, Pitfalls & Best Practices Jeremy Fromm (Mercury Security ) and Phil Coppola, PSP (HID) will team up to walk through what makes - or breaks - physical access control strategies in today’s complex threat landscape. This session is packed with practical takeaways from two of the field’s sharpest minds.
Since acquiring Wavestore in July 2023, Shalaby has outlined a roadmap focused on innovation, customer collaboration, and sustainable growth. Wavestore has accelerated development of integrated security platforms that combine advanced cameras, robust video management systems, high-performance servers, and access control - creating a future-proof ecosystem for smarter decision-making.
"There’s enormous value in stepping back and asking the harder questions," adds Mark Claxton, Managing Director at Wavestore. "Blind Spot gives us - and our partners & attendees - a space to pause, listen, and look at the bigger picture. It’s about reconnecting strategy to purpose and creating security solutions that are fit for tomorrow."
If you're tired of surface-level conversations and ready to dig deeper, join us in Ottawa.
Attendees of Blind Spot 2025 will gain exclusive insight to Wavestore’s latest product enhancements, including health monitoring tools, AI-powered analytics, and real-time operational insights. The event is designed to foster practical conversations, challenge industry norms, and inspire new ways of thinking about security’s evolving role.
