The Young Professionals Reception, the New Member Reception, and the Welcome Reception are also slated for Sunday.

From ASIS-sponsored functions to USA-hosted gatherings and beyond, ASIS 2014 offers unparalleled opportunities for security services professionals to make valuable contacts, strengthen business relationships, and advance their careers in the global security marketplace. ASIS President Geoff T. Craighead, CPP describes the conference as the "epicenter for security education and technology." The expo includes everything from networking events to certification classroom reviews to sessions on operational and cyber security, current global threats like the terrorist group ISIS and the Ebola outbreak, and security management best practices.
