That was some of the most impactful, relevant and well-produced material I have been witness to. The flow was smooth, the breaks were adequate and the speakers were outstanding.

Symposium: a gathering of practitioners who come together to share their knowledge and exchange ideas.

The Briefings, A National School Safety Symposium

Actionable insights. Real connections. Lasting impact. That's what you'll find at the Briefings Symposium in Glen Ellyn, IL on April 14th-15th, 2026.

Across the Midwest, schools are adopting the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and Standard Reunification Method (SRM). At the Briefings Symposium, you'll learn why and how to put these programs into action in your community.

Over two days, you'll dive into immersive learning, gain and share insights with passionate peers, and forge meaningful connections, all with the shared goal of creating safer schools and communities.

The Briefings Symposium is not your average conference. It's where leaders, practitioners, change-makers, and explorers come together to share their knowledge and experience, exchange actionable ideas and leave empowered to make a difference.

Creating safer schools and communities takes all of us. Be part of the mission at the Briefings Symposium.

This is one of the best trainings I have attended in a long time. It is evident that a lot of time and consideration was put into the training. Thank you for your strength, wisdom, courage, honesty and passion.

The Sessions

This 2-day symposium is centered around safety – physical, social and emotional safety of students, staff and the community. The Briefings bring to light timely topics, new insights, and fresh perspectives as we discuss how we can prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies.

Day 1: The Why

We set the stage with powerful keynote sessions that delve into the story of how The "I Love U Guys" Foundation came to be, the positive outcomes and protocols impacting schools across the globe, and the often-overlooked aspects of social and emotional safety alongside physical safety.

Day 2: The How

On Day 2, we'll shift from “why” to “how,” equipping you to turn ideas into action. Through in-depth classroom training, you'll explore the history, concepts and practical application of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and the Standard Reunification Method (SRM). These proven programs are more than frameworks—they're tools that empower you to create safer, more prepared communities.
