As security is a top priority throughout our infrastructure, designing secure spaces has become more critical than ever. Our luncheon panel brings together experts from government and industry to explore the growing needs of Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and other secure environments. Through engaging case studies and firsthand accounts, panelists will highlight innovative approaches to SCIF design, implementation, and deployment.

We will also learn more about the recent $50 Million upgrade to the White House's "Situation Room" and the Director who oversaw the project, learning firsthand how high-profile renovations are delivered.
