GSX 2021 to take place as ‘hybrid’ event

ASIS International on Friday announced that it has decided to convert GSX 2021, which is scheduled to take place Sept. 27-29 in Orlando, into a hybrid event featuring both in-person and online attendance options.  

“This past year left an indelible mark on how we gather, learn and network. We took these key learnings into consideration along with our new reality in re-designing the GSX experience,” ASIS International President John A. Petruzzi, Jr. said in a statement. “The event will showcase content related to how the world has changed and how we need to evolve our thinking around global security and safety in protecting people, property and intellectual assets. Another priority for us was to expand GSX offerings on a global scale so that security professionals anywhere in the world would have access to our best-in-class digital and in-person content and experience.”

This year’s conference will include more than 80 education sessions covering a range of topics from national security to community safety. The digital audience will have access to a broadcast studio format, watching some sessions live with the in-person audience as well as on-demand sessions.

“In developing GSX 2021, we recognize that security professionals are straddling two worlds simultaneously—physical and virtual,” said ASIS International CEO Peter O’Neil. “While many professionals are focused on the health and safety of global citizens, security professionals are an essential element of that and more. By offering a truly integrated approach, GSX 2021 promises to be an event of the highest quality for the security profession.”
