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.
