What is the PSC Conference?
The PSC is a gathering of security professionals who want and need in-depth information about strategies and tactics for protecting people – all the people – in their organizations. The PSC is comprised of a series of individual seminars, workshops, general sessions, and networking functions. It features a stellar list of highly qualified and experienced speakers who are willing to share their knowledge with others, and will have time to fully develop a topic.
What makes the PSC different or unique?
First, all PSC seminars are nearly two hours in length. With that much time, PSC speakers will have ample time to fully develop a topic. We don’t believe that 60 or 75 minute seminars provide enough time to really explore a topic. With longer seminars there is enough time to develop a thesis, employ workshop techniques and case studies, and foster robust, interactive question and answer discussions
Second, the faculty of the PSC has been selected based on their knowledge and expertise in specific areas. They are all highly qualified and distinguished in the specific areas about which they will speak. Most PSC speakers are well known in the security industry and their knowledge is in high demand.
Third, the PSC is intensive. In just three days, you will spend 20 hours in seminars, and that does not include the networking breaks and evening functions. The PSC is not wrapped around some other event like an annual meeting or tradeshow. It has but one purpose: education.
For whom was the PSC created?
The PSC was created and designed with the needs of security executives, directors, and managers in mind. The educational sessions are focused on topics that are in the purview of personnel who have decision-making authority over security policy and operations in their organizations, and those who provide security services for clients. PSC seminars are not about security basics, they are advanced level topics.
What is the focus of the PSC?
Of the four categories of organizational assets: facility, proprietary, information, and human, the PSC is focused on protecting people – all the people – in your organization: from the boardroom to the mailroom, from down the hall to around the world. It’s about the safety and security of people at every level and location.
The individual seminars will, of course, span a considerable range of security measures and include the applicability of physical and technical equipment solutions. But the overriding principle of the PSC is how to utilize all the tools available and necessary for the safety and protection of people. This primary theme enables you to focus on one critical area that is often pushed down the priorities list due to a lack of useful contemporary information.
What is the scope of PSC seminars?
PSC seminars cover a wide range of topics including threat assessment and risk management, workplace violence, executive protection, terrorism and pandemics, security management, leadership, and global issues to mention just a few.
It is a mix of general sessions and break-outs so you can select the seminars that are best suited and relevant to your specific needs, circumstances, and challenges.
Why should a security professional attend the PSC?
First, the PSC is focused on a single area of security that is absolutely vital to the survival of every organization – its people. This has never been more critical than in today’s environment of criminality, violence, terrorism, and the threat of global disorder and pandemic. The PSC is the only event of its kind that addresses these issues, problems, and challenges and provides contemporary practical solutions.

Second, the PSC brings together at one venue some of the brightest and most powerful minds in the security profession. Highly sought after for their knowledge and advice, except for attending the PSC, you might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet and learn from these experts.
Third, the PSC is in-depth and intensive. Sessions are designed – with adequate time – to fully explore a topic so you will gain the practical knowledge, skill, and tools necessary to immediately apply what you learn to your unique situation.
Fourth, the PSC is a significant opportunity to network with industry experts and professional peers who share similar interests and challenges. Attendance is limited and the program is structured to promote the exchange of information, knowledge, problems, and solutions in a relaxed and conducive environment
Fifth, the professional stature of the PSC has been acknowledged by ASIS International. The PSC is eligible for CPE credits for CPP, CPI, and PSP recertification.
Finally, the PSC is efficient and affordable. It makes maximum value of your time because all time is dedicated to education. The registration fee is well below what it would cost to otherwise accumulate as much information as will be gained at the PSC.
