The fourth annual gathering features a curriculum focused on leadership, personal excellence, and career management. Key sessions include deep dives into executive presence, personal branding, and strategies for navigating power dynamics within male-dominated industries.

New to the 2026 program are off-site security tours. Attendees may participate in an exclusive look at the Target Corporate Command Center, featuring a demonstration of the company’s artificial intelligence programs, or a tour of the Mall of America security operations and the Axis Experience Center.

The conference is a joint effort between the two leading membership associations for the security profession. Organizers stated the event serves as a platform to amplify the voices of women and equip them with practical strategies to address complex industry challenges.

Registration is currently open for the two-day event, which includes keynote presentations, peer-to-peer roundtables, and networking sessions.
