Security

Opt In for Critical Security Notifications

Communication with attendees and exhibitors in the event of an emergency is an important facet of our Security and Crisis Management Plan. Please help us keep you safe by opting in to Rave Mobile Safety, a Motorola Company. Text GSX2024 to 67283 and you will receive three messages from Rave:

A welcome message
Opt-out instructions
A general message to subscribers during the show

Your number will be deleted from the Rave system on Thursday, 26 September.

Security Policy

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 their official GSX 2024 badge.

No one under the age of 18 will be admitted to any portion of the in-person event including ASIS Celebrates! and other networking events.

ASIS International will not provide details about all the security plans related to GSX. However, you can expect to see a variety of security measures in place throughout the event, including random bag searches. Requests for identification must match the credentials you have been issued. As always, keeping you safe and secure throughout the week is a priority. You can reach our security team directly by calling +1-407-685-6000. If you notice something unusual or suspicious, report it immediately to the GSX security team directly by calling the GSX SOCC at +1-407-685.6000. The SOCC will be staffed 24/7 during GSX.

Weapons Policy

Under the guidance of the GSX security team and the Orange County Convention Center’s Security Division, there shall be no weapons of any kind during GSX 2024, unless an individual has jurisdictional authority to be armed within the confines of the Orange County Convention Center’s complex, specifically, personnel of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and federal law enforcement personnel.

Health & Safety

We no longer require proof of vaccination status or a negative test result to attend an ASIS in-person meeting or event. Wearing a mask at our meetings and events is encouraged but optional.ASIS expects attendees to take responsibility themselves for following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses and to protect against severe complications.
