SIA 2013 Government Summit
Our strategic partner, the Security Industry Association (SIA), will hold its annual Government Summit in Washington, DC on June 4-5 at the W hotel. GTSC’s CEO, Kristina Tanasichuk, will be moderating one of the panels.
The Summit brings together all levels of the security industry: executives, integrators, sales, marketing and government relations professionals. The sessions are geared towards doing business with government (state and federal), identifying the trends facing the industry, and understanding how policy drives business.
The Summit kicks off on Monday, June 3, with an informal welcome reception in the POV Lounge at the W Hotel. This event will be attended by elected officials, administration personnel, Congressional staff, members of the media and some surprise guests. Summit participants will have the opportunity to network with their industry colleagues as well as speakers, all while taking in panoramic views of our nation’s capital.
On Tuesday, June 4, the Summit begins with panels covering Emerging Technologies and Governance; Identity, Cybersecurity and Privacy; Government Purchasing; Protecting Transportation as Critical Infrastructure; Greening of the Industry and Market Drivers in the Government Space.
Tuesday evening, June 4, the Summit moves to the Hamilton Live for the annual Policy Dinner, which features another reception, a short awards program and dinner. The policy dinner keynote speaker is Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and best-selling author Bob Woodward. Participants will have an opportunity to meet Mr. Woodward one-on-one.
Attendees will also be hearing from Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, who will give a keynote address on school safety and security.
Wednesday’s half-day session will focus on school safety and security with keynote addresses expected from leading policymakers, which will be followed by a panel on school safety. The complete program and registration information can be found at SIA Government Summit. The conference is capped at 200 participants, so register soon!
