The 2023 Close Protection Conference


The 2023 Close Protection Conference


The Close Protection Conference is the largest and most influential global protective security industry event. The Conference will run from December 6 - 8, 2023, at the Toyota Music Factory, in Dallas, Texas.

The CP Conference & EP Training is hosted by the International Protective Security Board (IPSB), the only non-profit EP-centric board with the mission of elevating protection professionals' standards, opportunities, and industry insights, which is committed to delivering a unique educational and networking experience for seasoned service providers, new and aspiring EP professionals, and for representatives of all industry sectors.

Putting the conference together is always a herculean effort. Additionally, all the speakers and panelists are volunteers,

as the IPSB’s motto is by, with, and for the industry. We have a dynamic lineup of educational panels and networking opportunities.
