With more than 600 companies showcasing their latest security-related offerings at ASIS 2015 and more than 20,000 attendees, there won't be a lack of things to do and see. Here are my top 10 suggestions to make this ASIS your best one yet:

1. Attend one of more than 180 individual education sessions. Each session presented covers some aspect of security and most give CEUs for attending.

2. Remember that Wednesday, September 30, 2015 is law enforcement and military appreciation day. See someone in uniform walking around the convention center? Go thank them for their service.

3. Spend the evening of Monday, September 28 at the president's reception, an outdoor street fair with popular food trucks! Unwind and join others for locally-sourced, innovative cuisine, music and networking.

4. Learn about cyber security, counter terrorism, political situations around the world that threaten security and gain keen insights into leadership from the keynote speakers.

5. Indulge in a networking luncheon from noon to 1:30pm, September 28-3 to connect face-to-face with security professionals from around the world.

6. Interested in learning about the Wharton/ASIS Program for Security Executives? Plan on going to the Wharton Mixer of September 29th to network with alumni who will provide highlights about the course as well as how it has helped them to advance professionally.

7. Take your ASIS 2015 adventure virtual! Get the FREE ASIS mobile app!

8. Wanting to transition into the private sector? The Coffee and Conversation event on September 30th is just what you need to gain insights, learn about various career opportunities and build relationships. Don't forget your business cards and resume!

9. Indulge in some retail therapy at the on-site security store! Browse the latest books and merchandise as well as meet with various security authors to get your books signed, ask questions and network.

10. Treasure hunt on the showroom floor! Discover the latest and greatest products and services in the security market as you examine the evolution of the security industry as a whole.
