Protectors,

As you know, this is a conference by the industry and for the industry. One of the International Protective Security Board’s (IPSB) goals is the education and professionalization of the industry. We are moving into the planning season for this years Close Protection Conference and are reaching out to see what ideas or topics you might have. Do you know someone who has had an experience relevant to the audience? Is there a panel topic you have been interested in? Perhaps you know someone who started on a team and now has risen to lead and manage large protective projects?

This is the time to put those ideas forward!

If you have an idea, we would ask that you fill out the below and send it to the IPSB@outlook.com with “2019 CONFERENCE IDEA” in the subject line:
