If there’s anything that the last 12 months taught us, it is that things can go awry any moment, danger is always lurking, and it is critical to make personal safety a priority. This session will unpack the elements that surround risks, threats, security, and safety in our world today.

This session’s resource is K. Campbell, Principal at Blue Glacier Security & Intelligence, and the executive advisor for enterprise security risk management at Bolante.NET. He has experience, training, and certification in the areas of intelligence, executive protection, counterterrorism, and risk, threat, and vulnerability assessments working for both the public and private sector on these realms.
