This year, GSX will host a variety of exciting events prior to and during the conference for attendees to participate in. Take a look at all the offerings for this year and decide what you want to be a part of!
Pre-Conference Workshops
On the Saturday and Sunday preceding GSX, ASIS will be hosting two workshops that are available to any attendees.
The Facility Security Design workshop takes place over two days (9-10 September) and focuses on cost-effective facility security designs. The course is designed for mid- to advanced-level security professionals and is particularly applicable to those involved in the design, specification, implementation, operation, and/or maintenance of security systems. Participants can earn up to 13.5 CPE credits for participation in the Pre-Conference Program and an additional 3.5 CPE credits upon completion of the online Essentials of Facility Security Design Certificate.
The Successfully Implementing an ESRM Approach into Your Organization workshop is an intensive one-day program on Sunday, 10 September, designed to help security practitioners begin to effectively implement an ESRM approach. This course is designed for security practitioners who already have some understanding of ESRM and will use the fundamental ESRM concepts as a foundation only and build in complexity and strategy as the day progresses. Participants can earn up to 6.5 CPE credits for participation in the Pre-Conference Workshop and an additional 3.5 CPE credits upon completion of the online Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) Certificate.
Certification Review Programs
The weekend before the conference, ASIS will host two-day in-person review sessions for the CPP, PCI, and PSP. Each review will take place from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm CT on Saturday and 8:00 am – 4:00 pm CT on Sunday, and participants will receive up to 13.5 CPEs upon completion.
The review courses are designed to provide a high-level overview of the relevant certification knowledge domains in an environment that facilitates professional knowledge assessments, discussions with colleagues, and guidance from board-certified instructors who have proven themselves in the field.
Secure Horizons: An Immersive Experience for Senior Security Executives
Secure Horizons is a two-day event, exclusive to CSO Center members, that will take place the weekend prior to GSX. Intentionally designed through a senior security executive lens, the two-day experience will encourage insights, skills, and networking to elevate the status of security professionals in the C-suite and beyond. Lida Citroën, CEO of LIDA360, LLC, will be the program’s keynote speaker and facilitator. Attendees will also earn 11.5 CPEs.
