On Saturday, September 27th, and Sunday, September 28th, our President and Principal Consultant, Mark Schreiber, took center stage during a highly engaging pre-seminar educational session, at this year’s ASIS International GSX Conference held in the vibrant city of New Orleans at the iconic Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, that truly showcased his expertise and leadership in the field of security design. His presentation, titled “Facility Security Design: A Strategic Approach,” was thoughtfully crafted and delivered alongside a distinguished panel of security architects and engineers, offering attendees a deep dive into the comprehensive process of designing integrated physical security programs.

This session was specifically tailored for mid- to advanced-level professionals who play pivotal roles in the security landscape, including architects, designers, integrators, security directors, and individuals transitioning from public service roles into the private sector. Attendees were treated to a rich blend of strategic concepts and practical guidance, ensuring that the insights shared were not only theoretical but also immediately applicable to real-world security system design, implementation, and management challenges.

Joining Schreiber were esteemed colleagues Rene Rieder, Security Practice Leader at Burns Engineering, Inc.; J. Kelly Stewart, Principal and Head of Security at Buro Happold Advisory, and Danielle Tabachnick, Senior Security Consultant at Stantec.

The atmosphere throughout the two days was dynamic and interactive, marked by an abundance of thoughtful questions, lively discussions, and collaborative problem-solving. Attendees engaged deeply with the material, sharing their own experiences and challenges, which helped foster a vibrant community of security professionals committed to advancing best practices in facility security design. This session not only provided valuable knowledge but also strengthened professional connections and sparked inspiration for innovative approaches in security planning and execution.

This said, we would like to thank everyone who joined him for the insightful session!
