Advance: Women in Security 2024
May 15, 2024 at
1:00pm ET
Now in its 3rd year, Advance: Women in Security promotes gender diversity in one of Canada’s most critical and growing economic sectors. Companies and businesses from all corners of the security industry —manufacturers, guard companies, vendors, distributors, dealers, system integrators and end users — are increasingly hiring more women for all roles, from front-line positions to senior management.
Our goal is to spotlight the accomplishments of successful professionals, encourage more women to join the sector and raise awareness of organizations that are taking a leading role.
We have combined the audiences and reach of the most read and trusted security media brands/publications in the country: Canadian Security, SP&T News and Sécurité Québec.
