The 5th Annual The Security Summit

The Security Network is pleased to present the 5th annual The Security Summit in conjunction with its corporate, institutional and media sponsors.

The Security Summit is a two day event devoted to promoting innovative dual usage security products and services from around the globe.

The first day is devoted to the most innovative security products and services competition where companies get the opportunity to display and demonstrate their security products before panels of expert International Judges. It should be emphasized that The Security Summit is not a trade show.

The second day is devoted to speakers and panels of experts addressing topics that will ensure that those innovative products on display in the exposition can move to rapid commercialization and be in the hands of our military forces and first responders to make our country safer.

Agenda

• Each technology or service will be exposed to attendees, other exhibitors, judges and panelists from multiple countries:
  • 200 security industry and government attendees expected
  • 50+ exhibitors are expected
  • Defense, homeland security, and law enforcement officials invited from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and U.S.
  • Potential private sector channel partners, including commercial, Homeland Security and defense systems integrators
