Attendees: In years past, we have had roughly 75 registered attendees and an additional 40 vendors from 20 different companies. Our Kansas City Chapter includes security leaders from various large corporations, notably:

…and many others. This year, we will invite and market the event to members from other large ASIS Chapters in the Midwest including St. Louis, Omaha, Des Moines, and smaller ASIS chapters in Topeka, KS and Springfield, MO. 

Overview: Our annual showcase is from 7:30am to 2:00pm. The event starts with some opening exercises and then goes straight to breakout sessions. Before the event kickoff and during the large breaks between breakout sessions, attendees will visit the vendor booths. At 12 noon, all attendees and vendors sit for a plated lunch the presentation of the ASIS Greater Kanas City Chapter annual awards. As soon as those are done (about 20 minutes), the remaining time is handed over to the keynote speaker, while everyone finishes lunch. The event concludes at 2:00pm with some raffle and door prizes provided by the vendors.
