In June, ASIS International announced that, due to concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2020 would move to a fully virtual platform — now titled Global Security Exchange Plus (GSX+). In making this transition, ASIS says it has created a completely new experience for the security industry. According to the association, the new GSX+ delivers a host of advantages and opportunities that go beyond what the in-person conference had to offer.

“For attendees who appreciated the opportunity to network at GSX, the virtual GSX+ platform magnifies this — since there is no required travel time between education sessions, happy hours and other networking events,” ASIS said in an announcement. “In fact, it is possible to be at more than one event simultaneously while sitting at your computer. Finally, by reducing car, train and air travel, organizations and individuals are helping to minimize their carbon footprint.”

Here are some of the GSX+ educational sessions that might interest school, university, healthcare facility and campus protection practitioners:
