Both ISC West and ASIS GSX are going virtual this year, just weeks apart, but which one is better for exhibitors?

GSX+ 2020 Online is being held Sep. 21-25 while ISC West's 2020 Virtual Event is from Oct. 5-7.

In this note, based on conversations with both organizations, we examine what the main differentiators of the shows are and how they compare.
