Innovation Expert Specializing in Harnessing Curiosity Set To Speak at the Electron Security Association’s Signature Event

The Electronic Security Association (ESA) has announced Diana Kander as the keynote speaker during its ESX 2026 keynote luncheon taking place June 1-4, 2026, at the Irving Convention Center at Los Colinas in Irving, Texas.

Kander is a New York Times bestselling author, consultant, keynote speaker, and serial entrepreneur specializing in curiosity, innovation, and growth. Born in the former Soviet Union, she immigrated to Kansas City as a refugee at age 8. She later earned degrees in political science and law before founding and selling multiple businesses in legal, tech, and service sectors, generating millions by her early thirties. Her keynote for the event is titled “The Curiosity Advantage: How the Best Leaders Stay Competitive, Profitable, and Future-Ready.”

“Curiosity isn’t a personality trait,” says ESX chairman George De Marco in the ESA announcement. “It’s a muscle you can strengthen. In an industry-facing workforce, pressures, evolving customer expectations, and rapid technological change, every role requires an innovator’s mindset.” “When you’re being asked to do more with less while staying relevant to customers, that muscle is the difference between those who adapt and those who get left behind,” he says.

Kander’s books include “All In Startup” (2014), a bestselling entrepreneurial novel used in universities worldwide, “The Curiosity Muscle” (2018), which challenges organizations to avoid complacency, and “Go Big or Go Home” (2024), focused on curating a perfect customer experience. She continues to speak globally on future-proofing businesses, challenging assumptions, and fostering innovative cultures.
