TNSI - Tennessee Network of Security Integrators

TNSI hosts its 45th Annual Convention at the GORGEOUS Westin Downtown Chattanooga!! The Convention started with our annual Golf Tournameht, Axe Throwing Tournament followed by an opening Reception/Dinner with a Toast in Memory of Jack Dix and our loyal members that helped make our association the best in the country.

Thanks to our 2025 Convention Sponsors: Design Communications, Alarm.com, OpenEye, ADI and WESCO Distribution.

Day 2 was filled with CEUs, Exhibits, Annual Meeting/Luncheon and our Private Aquarium Ocean Journey Dinner Outing.

Thanks to all that attended! Looking forward to next year at the Cool Springs Marriott in Franklin, TN on September 16-18, 2026!!

Our 2024 TNSI Convention was a huge success despite the pre-Helene Storms! We sold out our host hotel The Park Vista, sold out Exhibit space and sold out our Anskeesta Dinner outing!

THEN...storms with 60 mph winds rolled into The Great Smoky Mountains, cancelling our Sporting Clay & Golf Tournaments as well as Anakeesta! A few golf teams managed to play between storm cells rolling quickly in and out! Our Axe Throwing Tournament went off without a hitch!

Day 2 and 3 were packed over 40 tabletop exhibits representing THE BEST Manufacturers, Distributors and Monitoring Companies; 8 TN approved CEU courses and our Annual Meeting & Luncheon.

Watch for our November issue of the Southeastern Sentry Newsletter for a full recap of our 2024 TNSI Convention.

Our 2023 TNSI Annual Convention was capped off with a Dinner Outing at Leiper's Fork Distillery in Franklin, TN. Cafe lighting was strung from the Still House Barn and fire pits presented a warm ambiance on a cool Fall evening for our guests. Attendees enjoyed cocktails and tastings of Leipers Fork Tennessee Whiskey and Bourbon, shopped in the gift shop and relaxed in Adirondack chairs around the fire pits. It was simply beautiful!! 🥃

TNSI is so thankful for our loyal Associate Members that EXHIBIT with us year after year and offer their TN approved CEU Courses. They are THE BEST Manufacturers, Distributors and Monitoring Companies in the country and we are honored to have them as members!!

Our 2023 Gold Convention Sponsors were Design Communications, Alarm.com, AXIS Communications, Alarm Monitoring Services, AMG/Univiewtec and Security Central. Our Convention would not be successful without all of our Exhibitors but especially our Sponsors!!
