• 9:25 AM – 10:15 AM - School Safety in Practice: How Florida Districts Are Successfully Implementing Alyssa's Law and Emergency Response Technologies
  • Florida has developed a comprehensive framework for school emergency response combining legislative mandates, state funding, mapping requirements, and practical technology solutions. This panel brings together key stakeholders who shaped and implemented these initiatives. Case in point: this school year, the Broward County School District welcomed students back with approximately 30,000 wearable panic alarm badges distributed across 250 school sites, where pressing the button three times triggers a staff alert, while pressing it eight times or more initiates a school-wide lockdown.

  • This session explores how educational institutions are transitioning from traditional access control systems to comprehensive safety ecosystems that integrate multiple technology domains. Attendees will examine the convergence of three key technology categories: AI-powered behavioral analytics for real-time threat detection, advanced communication intelligence infrastructure for emergency coordination, and rapid incident response systems for immediate help activation.
  • Participants will learn how these integrated platforms enable schools to detect weapons, fights, medical emergencies, and suspicious activities in real-time while automatically triggering geolocation-based emergency communications and coordinated response protocols. The session will demonstrate how this technological convergence represents a fundamental shift from reactive security measures to proactive, intelligence-driven safety approaches.
