Join us for the highly anticipated Safety & Security Summit, a pivotal event dedicated to addressing the critical challenges of K-12 school security. Over the course of three hours, we will delve into pressing topics that are redefining the landscape of school safety. Esteemed speakers, including Paul Timm, Director of Education Safety for Allegion, will share insights on "Next-Gen Security: Innovations in Active Threat Prevention & Response." Additionally, Bruce Canal, a Board Member of the National Council for School Safety Directors, will present on "Real-Time AI Surveillance to Keep Schools Safe." Joe Phillips, the Chief Technology Officer for Fulton County Schools, will further explore the crucial topic of "Protecting & Managing Security Tech on the Network." In addition to the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in solution-driven roundtable discussions. These dynamic sessions are designed to tackle the seven most challenging security issues facing educational institutions, collectively referred to as “The Malevolent Seven.” Participants will address topics such as Unauthorized Access/Trespassing, Bullying & Harassment in Low-Visibility Areas, and Emergency Evacuation, Communication & Reunification Failures. Leading these roundtables will be recognized experts from industry-leading organizations and experienced practitioners from high-performing school districts. This summit is an essential platform for collaboration and innovation, bringing together thought leaders and practitioners committed to creating safer learning environments for our students.
