 The SLX is a structured networking event that enables private security professionals the opportunity to develop points of contact at key government agencies and organizations. More than 2 dozen organizations ranging from the CDC to FEMA to the Major City Chiefs Association are invited and can talk to their respective programs/capabilities. During the SLX we encourage private sector security professionals to reach out to these contacts in order to learn more about their programs and to identify points of contact for potential future engagement.

There is no charge to attend this DSP sponsored DSAC event. Hors de ‘oeuvres, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages will be provided, complements of the DSP.
