You’ll compare technologies for safety, response, communication, access, surveillance, compliance, and operational readiness, while meeting relevant solution providers and hearing how peer institutions are protecting students, staff, buildings, residence halls, events, and daily campus operations.

The University Security Forum isn’t about brand exposure or booth traffic. It’s about getting the right people in the same room. We bring together campus security decision-makers and the solution providers who serve them, with meetings curated so the conversations are actually relevant.
For attendees, it’s a chance to learn what’s working at other universities and explore solutions that fit their needs. For providers, it means meaningful conversations with the people actually making those decisions.
No trade show floor. No wasted meetings. Just the right people having the right conversations.
