Each year, ASIS highlights one Game Changer session each day. These sessions feature high-level content and are designed to explore trends that will shape the future of the security industry. This year’s sessions focus on executive protection, safety in public spaces, and crisis management.
In Monday’s session “When High-Profile Means Danger: Protecting Executives from Public Threats,” Charles Randolph and Chuck Tobin will discuss the potential implications of reputation for companies and their employees in the modern era. The session will look at the recent killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and how this was informed by the organization’s reputation. In this session, attendees will learn how to analyze the impact a change in perception can have on an organization and its protection.
In “Risk is Everywhere: Fostering Safety in the Workplace, Schools, and Public Spaces” on Tuesday, AlGene Caraulia, Don Aviv, CPP, PSP, PCI, and Theresa Campbell will consider the current risk landscape in public spaces including schools and workplaces. The presenters will discuss how security practitioners can have an effect on managing risk in a time when public violence is trending upward. After this session, attendees will be able to analyze the current landscape and its effects on the wellbeing of individuals, de-escalate challenging situations, and better understand current risk management tactics in the industry.
The final Game Changer, “Resilience Amid Changing Conditions: Partnerships, Risk Transference, and New Patterns to Predict,” will focus on how crises ranging from natural disasters to civil unrest can test security plans. The session will also consider how these disruptions can affect supply chains and business continuity. Attendees will learn how to assess disaster preparedness strategies, identify potential partnerships and available emergency resources, and how to incorporate risk assessment, resource allocation, and recovery strategies into a strong crisis response plan.
