05.16.2008 — The Electronic Security Expo (ESX) has secured former NFL great and current ESPN NFL Football Analyst Cris Carter as keynote speaker for the inaugural Electronic Security Expo.
He will deliver his address on Thursday, June 26 from 10-11 a.m at the Nashville Convention Center, just prior to opening of the two-day ESX.
Carter was a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles (1987-89), the Minnesota Vikings (1990-2001) and the Miami Dolphins (2002).
He and his brother, John, established Carter Brothers in 2001, a national full-service provider of electronic security, fire alarm and life safety systems and project management services.
Carter Brothers, headquartered in Atlanta, has locations in 26 states and nearly 300 employees.
Carter will share his views on the electronic security industry and how lessons learned in sports carry over to the business world.
"We are ecstatic about Mr. Carter as our keynote speaker for the inaugural kickoff event for the ESX Expo," says George De Marco, ESX Expo Chair and Southern Vice President of the California Alarm Association.
"He will provide his unique perspective on football as a player and an analyst, as well as his insights and perceptions on the security industry as an owner of a security integration company.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for owners and employees of security companies to hear first hand a special keynote presentation up close and personal from an industry peer."
During his 16-year career, Carter appeared in eight consecutive Pro Bowls and became one of only four players in NFL history to have 1,000 or more receptions.
He was also recognized for his charity work with the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award – the only league award that recognizes a player's off-the-field community service as well as playing excellence.
After retiring from the NFL following the 2002 season, Carter has worked as an analyst on HBO's Inside the NFL and online at Yahoo Sports, and is currently the NFL Football Analyst for ESPN.
He also works as an assistant coach at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft. Lauderdale, FL where his son plays wide receiver.
He will deliver his address on Thursday, June 26 from 10-11 a.m at the Nashville Convention Center, just prior to opening of the two-day ESX.
