The Education Facilities Management Forum took place in Dallas, Texas on April 25 & 26, 2016. Feedback is streaming in from attendees already! Here's what they have to say about their Forum Experience: "Forum did a great job! Positively was beyond my expectation! Love the layout, the best one I have been to yet!" "This was my first time at an event like this format and it was great. I loved time with the companies without any pressure or sales pitch. All of them even said to just call and ask questions about anything. Great job by the Forum Events staff before, during, and after the event. Thanks!" "The Forum was a great experience in allowing direct one-on-one contact with potential vendors. Having the opportunity to meet with several in a day with specific time frames made it much easier to get to the point and look at specific opportunities." "The one-on-one meetings with vendors allowed me to ask questions that pertained to my particular facility without interrupting or listening to others who had different needs than my own. The time allowed for these meetings was just right, enough to demonstrate the need for the product without it really being a sales pitch." "Very nice! Enjoyed the event. Well organized and the Forum staff were very helpful. Thanks for the invite!" "The ability to pre-select vendors prior to the event made my experience and met my organization's needs. Liked the schedule and format. Employees were friendly and helpful. As my district prepares for a new bond program, the contacts here were great. I also like it when companies bring demos of some of their latest products, as I need to see it and touch it to understand its capabilities." ![]() [Event Recap]: Contact Center & Customer Service Summit | Dallas, TX | April 25-26, 2016

With topics including “Surviving an Active Shooter,” and strengthening physical barriers using access control, these informative 45-minute sessions allow executives to share their security knowledge in an open discussion format. Senior Community Liaison of the Houston Police Department Stephen Daniel will host an active shooter seminar at the summit. During his presentation, he will provide a historic overview of active shooting in America, unveil the profile of an active shooter, cover response practices for an active shooter situation and use case studies to develop the best strategy for responding security officers. Also unveiling a new seminar, Steve Surfaro, Industry Liaison, Axis Communications Chairman and ASIS International Vice Chair, will give insight into the power of social media and security technologies. Social media conversations have implications for a range of organizational functions including security operations.

This session provides case studies of security successes through the use of trending security technologies, mobility and the Internet of Things. Terry Gold will host two seminars on access control and card technology. Gold is a subject matter expert in digital identity management, authentication, and access control in both physical and information-based environments.
