On the exhibit floor, conference attendees can browse security services and products from 600+ leading solutions providers. A variety of peer-to-peer networking opportunities are also planned, from the ASIS Foundation 17th Annual Golf Tournament at Stone Mountain Golf Club to the President’s Reception hosted by ASIS President Rich Widup at the Georgia Aquarium, with a garden party catered by Wolfgang Puck.

Among the keynote speakers at ASIS 2014 are Jon Huntsman, Jr., a distinguished diplomat, successful businessman, and twice-elected governor of Utah, General Colin L. Powell (Ret.), the first African-American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Rear Admiral Scott Moore (Ret.), who led SEAL teams in Desert Storm, Panama, Bosnia, Mogadishu and Haiti.

As a Bronze-level sponsor of ASIS 2014 and a long-time exhibitor and supporter of ASIS International, USA has secured a prime location at one of the main entrances to the exhibit hall.

“We welcome clients, colleagues, and prospective customers to drop by Booth 1105 and see us,” said Alton Harvey, senior vice president of national accounts. “Every year, we look forward to this opportunity to connect, learn from industry experts, and exhibit our latest technologies and security solutions. With ASIS 2014 practically in our backyard, we will have more people and resources at the event than ever before.”

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality.
