vulnerabilities and risks, equipment usage/maintenance, fire
prevention, physical security measures, bomb threats, disaster

experiences with each other. Certification is valid for three (3)
years.

History of Midwest Security Conference
The Midwest
Security conference started in 1990 as a joint venture between the Chicago chapter of the
International Association of Healthcare Security and Safety (IAHSS)
and the Illinois Security Chiefs Association. In 1991, the Chicago
Chapter of ASIS International became the third member and these
three organizations jointly sponsored the conference through 2004.
The conference was established to provide a cost effective
conference that would be of high quality, timely in nature and
accessible to all.
