This week Securely Travel will be going to Washington DC to attend the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) Annual Briefing.
OSAC was created in 1985, when George Shultz was the Secretary of State, with the purpose of creating a means to collaborate between the private sector and the U.S. government on security issues, and operates as a joint venture between the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. private sector.
The Annual Briefing is a closed door event, available only to members of OSAC.
The OSAC organizers describe this year’s event as follows:
- The OSAC Annual Briefing is one of the most celebrated security community events of the year. It provides a unique opportunity to connect with experts from both the public and private sectors to discuss emerging threats, review lessons learned from recent global events, and to share information on mitigating and managing future risk.
- This year, the Annual Briefing will explore “Resilience as the New Normal” – emerging stronger after the challenges of recent years. Panels and presentations will focus on shifting postures around Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; building effective contingency plans; security teams’ potential in advisory roles; the power in diverse voices and perspectives; and much more.
Securely Travel’s parent organization, Prevendra, has been an active member of OSAC for many years.
