Schools are inundated with potential solutions that improve student safety and therefore enhance educational outcomes. Each school incident offers insight into how we can improve both student safety and wellness but it also means leading practices and requirements are constantly changing.
At the upcoming Campus Safety Conference at EDspaces, taking place Nov. 12-14 at Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center, a panel of experts with various safety and security backgrounds will discuss guidance, trends, and emerging threats that play a part in security planning.

What is Campus Safety Conference at EDspaces?
Now in its third year, CSC at EDspaces, taking place Nov. 12-14 at Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center, is a co-located event offering a full CSC agenda and exhibit hall and access to all EDspaces sessions and vendors.
EDspaces unites architects, designers, facility planners, educational administrators, distributors, and manufacturers to enhance student learning and well-being through innovative use of space. The co-location of these two events opens the door to more resources for school and college administrators, campus security executives, law enforcement, and emergency management professionals to strategically and effectively do their jobs.
Like our National Campus Safety Conference, CSC at EDspaces features keynotes, general sessions, panel discussions, hot topics, and workshops, in addition to dozens of vendors. Here are some highlights from last year’s CSC at EDspaces to give you a better idea of what to expect.
