Campus Security & Life Safety hosts three virtual summits each year. Our goal is to bring to our audience real-time, need-to-know information that helps law enforcement and campus administration learn about the techniques, standards and plans to secure campuses and keep students and staff safe.
At each summit, our editorial staff joins with independent experts to create a free event that highlights best practices, leading preparation tips and case study information that will benefit campus environments.
