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."
