Command and Control Canada 2026
See the complete command-and-control environment come together
Tresco Consoles is joining Barco and a group of technology partners for Command and Control Canada, a three-city roadshow bringing security, operations, and control room professionals together to explore the technologies shaping modern mission-critical environments.
Across Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver, attendees will be able to see how visualization, video, networking, operational technology, and the operator workstation fit together as parts of a larger command-and-control ecosystem.
From Tresco, you will also be able to experience that final operator-facing layer in person with the AEGIS control room console.

From information to operator action
Modern command-and-control environments depend on much more than a single display, software platform, or workstation.
Operators may need to work across surveillance feeds, operational applications, alarms, communications systems, and information from multiple networks. The challenge is bringing those systems together in a way that makes the right information accessible, understandable, and actionable.
Command & Control Canada brings together companies working at different layers of that environment.
Barco, Genetec, Hanwha Vision, Extreme Networks, Providius, and Tresco each represent different parts of the command-and-control ecosystem, creating an opportunity to look at the control room as an integrated operational system rather than a collection of separate products.
For Tresco, that conversation reaches all the way to the operator position.
- How are displays arranged?
- Where does the equipment go?
- How does cabling reach the workstation?
- Can operators comfortably see and reach the information they need?
- How does the workstation support the technology today while remaining adaptable to future changes?
These are physical questions, but they directly affect how technology is used.
What will be explored at Command and Control Canada?
Situational awareness
A control room can have access to enormous amounts of information and still make it difficult for an operator to understand what matters.
How information is collected, distributed, and ultimately presented influences how quickly operators can build an accurate picture of an event.
That includes the large shared display environment, but it also continues all the way to the individual workstation: which applications are positioned in front of the operator, how displays are arranged, what controls are within reach, and how information moves between individual and shared displays.
Effective situational awareness depends on more than having access to information. The environment needs to support how operators actually use it.
Integrated command-and-control technology
Video surveillance, visualization, network infrastructure, software platforms, and operator workstations do not operate independently.
Command and Control Canada brings together technologies that support different parts of the operational workflow, allowing attendees to see how those systems can work together within a modern command-and-control environment.
For project teams, it is an opportunity to think about the interfaces between systems rather than evaluating every component in isolation.
That coordination becomes increasingly important as more technology reaches the individual operator position.
Operator workflow and decision-making
Technology ultimately has to reach a person.
Where displays sit, how many applications operators work with, how frequently they move between systems, what information is shared, and which controls require immediate access all affect the physical operator position.
The workstation therefore becomes part of the information architecture of the room, not simply the furniture underneath it.
A well-planned operator position considers the relationship between technology, visibility, reach, equipment, posture, and workflow from the beginning.
Secure and scalable operations
Mission-critical environments change. New information sources are added. Applications evolve. Additional operators may be introduced. Technology gets upgraded. Remote locations may need access to the same operational information.
That means command-and-control infrastructure needs to account for growth without creating unnecessary disruption.
The same principle applies to the physical workstation.
Planning flexibility into the workstation helps the physical environment adapt alongside the technology it supports.
The physical operator environment
This is where Tresco enters the conversation. Software determines what information reaches an operator. Displays determine how that information is presented. The console determines how all of it physically reaches the person doing the work.
- Monitor position
- Sightlines
- Reach
- Equipment storage
- Cable routing.
- Power
- Lighting
- Worksurface dimensions
- Operator posture
- Future equipment changes.
These decisions turn a collection of technologies into an actual operator position.
See the AEGIS control room console in person
Custom control room thinking, without the time penalty.
At each Command & Control Canada stop, attendees will have the opportunity to see Tresco’s AEGIS control room console in person.
AEGIS is Tresco’s fast-deployment console platform for teams that need professional control room performance without the delays of an extended custom design cycle.
Rather than beginning every project from a blank sheet, AEGIS combines curated, industry-proven configurations with the ergonomic planning, equipment integration, cable management, monitor support, power management, lighting, and durability expected in mission-critical environments.
The result is a more streamlined path from early planning to a professional operator workstation.
The control room workstation is where the systems meet
A modern control room might include surveillance systems, operational software, networking infrastructure, large-format visualization, communications equipment, alarm management, and multiple information sources.
Eventually, much of that technology converges in one place: the operator workstation.
That makes the console an important connection point between the technology being deployed and the people expected to use it.
Planning that position effectively means looking beyond the furniture itself.
It means understanding:
- What information operators need to see
- How many displays and applications they use
- Which equipment needs to remain accessible
- How operators interact with shared displays
- What needs to remain within comfortable reach
- How cables and power reach the workstation
- Where CPUs and other equipment will be stored
- How future technology changes may affect the position
- How the workstation fits within the room as a whole
These decisions are easier to solve during planning than after equipment begins arriving on site.
Who should attend?
Command and Control Canada is relevant for professionals involved in planning, operating, integrating, or upgrading mission-critical environments, including:
- Security operations and GSOC teams
- Control room and operations managers
- System integrators
- AV professionals
- IT and network teams
- Consultants
- Project managers
- Critical infrastructure organizations
- Facility and engineering teams
- Technology partners
- Organizations planning new control rooms
- Organizations upgrading existing command-and-control environments
Whether you are developing a new environment or modernizing an existing facility, the roadshow provides an opportunity to see how different parts of the technology ecosystem connect.
Meet Tresco at Command & Control Canada
Command-and-control systems ultimately converge in one place: in front of the operator.
Join Tresco, Barco, and the participating technology partners in Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver to explore how visualization, security technology, networking, software, and the operator workstation work together within a modern mission-critical environment.
While you are there, sit down at AEGIS, explore the workstation firsthand, and talk with the Tresco team about the physical operator environment behind your next project.
