Reflecting on an incredible week in Austin, our first-ever partner event truly demonstrated the strength of our community. Bringing together integrators, partners, and colleagues from across the industry, we built new connections and deepened collaboration to drive security innovation forward.

Over two days, Access Austin brought together a remarkable mix of partners and end customers - all aligned by a shared belief in Acre’s vision for the future. The message was clear:
"We love the vision, and we’re ready for what’s next."

Key Takeaways from Austin

  • A partner-first mindset, backed by action – not just words
  • Leadership sharing clarity, accountability, and urgency
  • Continued investment in DNA Fusion, Access It!, and ACTpro
  • The One Acre platform: unified, open, and modular by design
  • A strong focus on innovation that simplifies security
  • A reaffirmed belief: security is, and always will be, about people

We kicked things off the Austin way - with a river cruise, live music, and a proper BBQ from Terry Black’s. But what followed went deeper: open discussions on AI in physical security, smarter identity strategies, and a transparent look at where Acre is headed.

As Lee Odess reflected:

“It was an absolute privilege to participate in the first Acre Security partner event. I walked away with a lot of observations, insights, conversations, and BBQ. Well done Kumar Sokka, Andrew Rapsey, and the entire Acre team - it takes a village to put on an event like this, and you did it well. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it and moderate panels on AI and innovation, and then an absolute treat to be on stage with Kumar and Joseph Grillo.”

Turning Energy Into Action

The energy and commitment from our partners set the stage for productive internal workshops – where our team rolled up their sleeves, shared ideas, and turned collaboration into action.

Building Momentum for What’s Next

At the heart of it all? A unified commitment to being the bridge – from legacy to future, on-prem to cloud, complexity to clarity. A future where customers can migrate at their pace, without disruption.

Thank you to everyone who joined, contributed, and inspired. Partnerships and teamwork like this power everything Acre Security accomplishes – and together, we’re #MovingSecurityForward.
