15 Can’t-Miss Educational Sessions to Attend at ASIS 2015
There are 200 sessions at ASIS this year and so little time. Which ones should you focus on? SSI EIC Scott Goldfine is here to help.
One session to check out focuses on the threat of drones.
Within the neighborhood of 600 exhibit booths at the ASIS Seminar and Exhibits in Anaheim, Calif., it can be easy to overlook the many educational sessions being offered. That would be unfortunate because ASIS is known for its focus on training and education; in fact there are 200 sessions offered this year. However, only a relative handful of them are directed at or have real tangible value for installing security dealers and integrators (most are geared toward end-user security directors and managers).
To avoid the Mickey Mouse stuff while in the shadow of Disneyland, here are 15 educational sessions (note, some of them overlap time wise) you should seriously consider sitting in on. Note: All times are PST.
