United States. ASIS International announced its decision to move the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2020 to an all-virtual experience, titled Global Security Exchange Plus (GSX+), which includes more than 80 educational sessions, an exhibition marketplace, and peer-to-peer networking opportunities.
After months of careful assessment of the risks associated with convening an event of 20,000 professionals from around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, ASIS concluded that GSX's transition to a virtual-only environment for its 2020 event was the right course of action, in the best interest of its members, attendees, speakers, exhibitors and the public.
Previously scheduled to take place September 21-23 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, The new online GSX+ will bring together a global audience with live and on-demand performances from September 21-25.
"The launch of GSX+ as a virtual-only experience will provide our members, exhibitors, sponsors and others with a unique approach that will promote safety around the world," says Godfried Hendriks, CPP, Chairman of the ASIS Global Board of Directors. "While circumstances dictate that we must forgo an in-person meeting this year, we are excited that GSX+ will provide a wider global audience with the exceptional safety net, market, education and training that truly set GSX apart. There is a growing demand for a comprehensive experience that helps the entire security profession learn and grow together."
Organizers ensure that the GSX+ will deliver every element of a live event in an online environment: Community, Content, Commerce and Connection. GSX+ provides a new all-virtual forum for the global security community to connect and engage in live discussions on the industry's most pressing issues, CPE-eligible educational sessions, a strong marketplace, and peer-to-peer networks.
