Thursday, August 22nd 1-5 p.m. Active Shooter Awareness & Response Training Marko Galbreath, Founder of T4Tactics, LLC - Lynchburg, Virginia Having to face the absolute unthinkable in your workplace, church, shopping mall or school is every persons worst nightmare. Active shooting events are occurring more frequently throughout our country every day. The aggressors actions are not your fault; failure to plan and failure to train is. (OSHA General Duty clause, Sec 5 (a) (1). Everyone can help prevent and prepare for potential active threat situations. Preparation and proper training can reduce the risk of one of these incidents and, if one occurs, can mitigate or reduce the number of potential victims, civil liability and insurance costs. The T4Tactics workshop is dedicated to enhance preparedness for citizens to rise to the occasion instead of freezing, not acting immediately or acting carelessly. Evidence based training is not sugar coated or exaggerated and will show participants how to: 1. Recognize hostile situations and attempt to diffuse them. 2. Review what led up to, what worked and didnt work and the aftermath of the attacks at VA Tech, Columbine, The Pulse Nightclub, Platte Canyon High School and San Bernardino. 3. The training will take you well beyond the typical Run, Hide, Fight that so many presenters are stuck teaching. 4. Realize how everyday items along with situational awareness can be utilized to defend yourself and save your life. 5. Understand how the body reacts during extreme stressful situations. 6. Learn HR and Management responsibilities before, during and after an attack. (Threat Assessment Teams, Emergency Action Plans, Policy and Procedure, Dealing with the media and family). 7. Effective Training Components 8. Perform a no-skills needed maneuver to combat a gunman. And much more! 5:30-8:30 p.m. Top Golf Tournament 9500 Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85256 Fun to be had by everyone at this sprawling entertainment venue with a high-tech driving range, swanky lounge with drinks, small bites and games.

(2 CE Hrs in AZ) Ron Berg, Executive Director - IIABA's Agents Council for Technology - Alexandria, Virginia We are in a new customer-centric era characterized by rapid change and new customer needs, expectations and demands. Technology-driven trends are interconnected and not process silos. Each component is part of an ecosystem that is ushering in a new era and societal reality. The insurance industry needs to design and deliver a customer experience that is efficient, relevant and memorable. The very nature of risk the how, what, where and why of insurance is being challenged and must be revised if not reinvented. How the traditional market responds to these challenges will determine its future success and perhaps its very survival.
