ASIS International's annual conference

Next week is ASIS International's annual conference in Orlando, Florida. ASIS was formerly known as the American Society for Industrial Security but the name was changed to better reflect its worldwide involvement.

It is quite the show - new technologies along with some old ones - and several thousand security professionals. I'm guessing but I'd assume that nearly every other security organization, in the U.S. as least, can trace some aspect of its heritage to ASIS and so there are many additional meetings that occur at the same time. There are training seminars, in addition to the exhibits, and some are really worthwhile. Some are dull and some just don't live up to what they promise, but then again they are presented by volunteers to their peers (read competitors).

Assuming the hurricane doesn't cause problems for the event yours truly will be present, and I may even offer some updates from there as well. New technologies or new techniques, who knows. See you there.
