Symposium Focus:  Challenges that terrorism presents to the corporate, business, security, and law enforcement communities...and solutions to meet such challenges. Emphasis:  Cooperative preparedness efforts between various law enforcement and government agencies, and the corporate/business world. How does a terrorist attack influence the economy of our cities and states?  Does the capture of high-level al Qaeda operatives mean America is more secure?   What can businesses do to join the homeland security fight against indiscriminate attacks on our communities?  When and how should a Crisis Management Plan for executive safety be developed?  These and other questions will be addressed by top-level experts and government agency heads during the two-day symposium. Here is an opportunity to meet, discuss, network, and exchange vital information with other participants including members of the FBI, DEA, Homeland Security, nationwide police and other agencies--and their international counterparts. Registration is recommended for corporate executives and business owners, law enforcement agencies, corporate security directors, human resource directors, security systems managers, risk and business continuity managers,  facilities managers, identification security specialists, financial managers, healthcare security directors, and building managers from the business and private sector. Hotel Information: Headquarters Plaza is located in the heart of Morristown, one of New Jersey's most vibrant and historic communities. It's a short walk to "The Green," the town's park-like center, where our guests can enjoy Morristown's celebrated restaurants and shopping.
