Campus Safety Conference
July 13-15, 2026  | National Harbor, MD

The Campus Safety Conference (CSC) is the premier national event for professionals dedicated to keeping schools, colleges, universities, and healthcare campuses safe. Over the course of multiple decades, CSC has grown into a trusted, community-driven experience where practitioners come together to learn, connect, and tackle real-world safety challenges with practical solutions.

At CSC, you’ll find actionable education, hands-on training, and unmatched peer collaboration. For 2½ days, attendees participate in interactive sessions, case study discussions, expert panels, and workshops designed to address the evolving landscape of campus safety — from emergency management and risk reduction to physical security, incident response, behavioral health, and emerging technology trends. The event also includes a robust Sponsor Showcase featuring cutting-edge solutions from industry providers. Here, you can explore emerging tools, technologies, and services that help strengthen safety strategies on your own campus.

But CSC is more than just education — it’s a community. Campus leaders, public safety directors, emergency managers, facility and operations professionals, IT and communications leaders, and other stakeholders come together to share lessons learned, exchange promising practices, and build relationships that extend far beyond the event. Many attendees call these connections the most valuable part of their CSC experience.
