Capt. Richard Phillips, who became the center of an extraordinary international drama when he was captured in April by Somali pirates who hijacked his ship, will be the keynote speaker for the CSO Roundtable track at the ASIS International 55th Annual Seminar and Exhibits. ASIS 2009 will be held Sept. 21-24 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. ASIS is the preeminent organization for security management professionals worldwide.

Capt. Phillips' keynote address, to be held from 11 a.m. to noon on Monday, Sept. 21 at the Anaheim Convention Center, is by invitation only. Capt.
