Security
ASIS International strives to keep its delegates and exhibitors safe during GSX, while maintaining relative ease of access to all events and venues.
Every person entering the Exhibit Hall, a classroom, or an on- or off-site GSX event must be wearing an official GSX 2025 badge.
No one under the age of 18 will be admitted to the in-person event, including evening events. There are no exceptions to this policy.
ASIS International will not provide details about all the security plans related to the event.
However, you can expect to see a variety of security measures in place throughout the event, including random bag searches. Requests for identification that must match the credentials you have been issued. As always, keeping you safe and secure throughout the week is a priority. The number to reach our security team on site will be posted closer to GSX.
Communication with attendees and exhibitors in the event of an emergency is an important part of our Security and Crisis Management Plan. Please help us keep you safe by opting into Rave Mobile Safety.
US attendees please text GSX2025 to 67283, International attendees please text 67283 to +1 (424) 322-6787 and you will receive three messages from Rave:
- A welcome message
- Opt-out instructions
- A general message to subscribers during the show
Phone numbers that opt in will be deleted from the Rave system on Thursday, 2 October.
