Our January ConneX AM Security Summit is powered by Defender One and features an expert panel discussing safety and security for your business and for you personally!

Personal and professional security have never been more important, but how does a business maintain its objectives and keep its employees and resources safe without creating fear? How can we foster public-private partnerships to build stronger public safety? Our panel will discuss these and other topics related to safety and security.

Our panel members include:
