Welcome to the ASG Security Summit & Expo

The ASG Security Summit & Expo has always been about collaboration, communication, and the creative energy that pours forth when you bring together a group of people that are passionate about physical security. To us, the Summit has always been The Great Conversation. This year, we want you to see it like we do. We would like you to contribute to The Great Conversation and be part of an exciting, changing industry. So in the spirit of conversation, here's what our founder, Phil Aronson has to say about this year's Summit:

"It has always been my vision to produce positive change in the security industry, and none of my achievements has created more change than the ASG Security Summit & Expo. At last year's Summit, we had a record number of participants, more support from our vendor partners and alliances than ever before, and an atmosphere of excitement and energy that defies measurement.

Yet, last year's Summit proved to me something I have been seeing for some time now; the Security Industry needs communication. We need to be collaborative, we need to work together, we need to be reminded that we are not alone and the challenges we face are not unique. If there is one thing that is lacking in the Industry today, it is real communication. That is why I have chosen to focus this year's ASG Security Summit & Expo on the theme of The Great Conversation.

So I would like to invite you to be a part of the 2010 Summit. Be a part of the energy, creativity, and change that pours out of this event. My question to you is this: will you stand on the sidelines continuing to wonder what everyone else is talking about, or will you be part of The Great Conversation?"

ASG Security Summit & Expo Overview

The Great Conversation - What is Everyone Talking About?
Now is an exciting time to be part of the Security Industry. Technology is improving at an exponential rate, solutions are being created to problems that didn't even exist 10 years ago, everyone has something on their mind, and the Industry is buzzing with talk about the next big thing, the next huge idea. We invite you to be part of this Great Conversation at the 2010 ASG Security Summit & Expo where you can experience first hand what everyone is talking about.

At the Summit, you'll join the largest group of security integrators, manufacturers, consultants, and end-users in the Pacific Northwest and experience:

• World-class subject matter experts ready to share their experience and knowledge with you
• Best-in-class technology vendors with the latest technological solutions to your security challenges

A Regional Summit with a Global Reach

This year's ASG Security Summit & Expo  has expanded from a regional Summit to a global conversation.  Through our blog platform, Virtual Exhibit Hall and web Broadcast, we are engaging security professionals from accross the nation. 

From January through June, ASG will be hosting a digital ‘conversation platform' through our blog and Virtual Exhibit Hall.  Here we will be vetting the key issues that permeate our industry. The content will come from industry analysts, consultants, CSOs, and manufacturers. Much of this will help drive the agenda of the Summit and act as a actionable reference site after the Summit.

Our Virtual Exhibit Hall will allow visitors to engage and interact with our Sponsors before and after the event.  Here you can learn about new products and services available and engage in conversations with top security providers.  You will also be invited to download white papers or brochures highlighting innovative security solutions that you and your company can utilize in your security systems.

The day of the conference will feature an exhibit hall of booths with companies from various sectors of the security industry.  The Seattle Summit agenda will feature outstanding key notes in the main auditorium intermixed with engaging and instructive case studies. The main stage will feature industry thought leaders and key executives both in the morning and afternoon. The case studies will feature high profile companies providing a review of how they addressed a specific problem, opportunity or strategy. The manufacturers and the integrator are on hand as well to answer questions related to the implementation.

In addition to our cutting-edge Summit.  This year we will reach a global audience through our web broadcast.  ASG will be broadcasting live from the event via the web creating a national footprint to help instruct and lead the industry. We currently expect to have at least 1,000 or more security executives viewing this event live or via recorded web cast within days of the conference.  So if you are unable to attend you can still be a part of the 'Conversation' by logging on and viewing the Keynotes from your desk!

While our web cast allows us to have a national even global reach, the richest experience will still be live and in person at the Bell Harbor Conference Center on March 9, 2010.  So don't delay, register today!
