As the COVID‐19 pandemic continues to affect the way of life of security professionals and citizens around the globe, ASIS International is currently tirelessly exploring options for Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2020, scheduled to take place 21‐23 September in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
At this stage, the company is evaluating their means of safely accommodating attendees at the Georgia World Congress Center in accordance with health and safety recommendations, and their means of potentially moving the event, in part or in full, to a virtual environment that offers the same high quality content, instructors, and dynamic interaction that the visitors have come to expect from the in‐person GSX gatherings.
