That was some of the most impactful, relevant and well-produced material I have been witness to. The flow was smooth, the breaks were adequate and the speakers were outstanding.
Join us in San Mateo, CA on September 5-6, 2024 for The Briefings, A National School Safety Symposium! When we set out to bring the Briefings to new parts of the country, something really cool happened. Our partners and supporters have stepped up, offering their venues for our event. Thanks to our Mission Partner, Verkada, we have access to their top-notch training facility in September. Get ready for an enriching and informative experience at our upcoming Briefings Symposium right in the heart of the Bay Area!
The Briefings is not just a conference, it is an amazing opportunity to meet and connect with individuals who work in schools, districts, departments, agencies, and organizations across the country. You will leave the Briefings with actionable insights and takeaways from The “I Love U Guys” Foundation speakers, and new, strong connections to help accomplish them.
We will cover timely topics like preparing for a crisis, lessons learned from prior incidents, recovery in the aftermath of a crisis, as well as training on the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method.
This isn't just a symposium; it's a "must-have" two days of immersive learning that promises to empower, inspire, and equip you for the challenges ahead. We hope to see you there, secure your spot now!
This is one of the best trainings I have attended in a long time. It is evident that a lot of time and consideration was put into the training. Thank you for your strength, wisdom, courage, honesty and passion.
This 2-day symposium fosters an environment for knowledge-sharing, relationship building, hands-on training and countless actionable insights that you can put to use as soon as you leave.
Day 1 highlights timely and fresh presentations and discussions from our Foundation Speakers, and Day 2 will feature our Full-Day SRP/SRM Train the Trainer Workshop.
This presentation explores the interactions during the Platte Canyon High School events between a negotiator, Stacy Avila, and a 16 year old girl being held hostage. It’s a powerful affirmation of a negotiator and a victim’s father, John-Michael Keyes, sharing their experiences on that day and the positive outcomes and protocols that are impacting schools across the globe as a result of tragedy.
Carly Posey tells her story of what happened inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. She shares what went wrong and right on that day and the years to follow. Carly shares her perspective on the events, how a school community can be proactive and be prepared for the unthinkable, and she gives real solutions on school safety and recovery in the aftermath of a crisis.
