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.
The “I Love U Guys” Foundation is headed to the Bay Area on November 7-8, 2024! We are thrilled to bring the Briefings Symposium to San Mateo, CA, so get ready for two days packed with immersive learning and networking.
While, the Briefings Symposium has had its roots in Colorado, last year we made the decision to bring the Briefings to new parts of the country. Then, something pretty cool happened. Our partners and supporters have stepped up, offering their venues for our event. Thanks to our Mission Partner, Verkada, we have access to their top-notch training facility. We are thrilled to bring this enriching and informative experience to the heart of the Bay Area!
The Briefings is not just a conference, it is an amazing opportunity to meet and connect with individuals who work in schools, districts, departments, agencies, and organizations across the country. You will leave the Briefings with actionable insights and takeaways from The “I Love U Guys” Foundation speakers, and new, strong connections to help accomplish them.
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.
This 2-day symposium fosters an environment for knowledge-sharing, relationship building, hands-on training and countless actionable insights that you can put to use as soon as you leave.
Day 1 highlights timely and fresh presentations and discussions from our Foundation Speakers, and Day 2 will feature our Full-Day SRP/SRM Train the Trainer Workshop.
This presentation explores the interactions during the Platte Canyon High School events between a negotiator, Stacy Avila, and a 16 year old girl being held hostage. It’s a powerful affirmation of a negotiator and a victim’s father, John-Michael Keyes, sharing their experiences on that day and the positive outcomes and protocols that are impacting schools across the globe as a result of tragedy.
"The environment dictates the tactics"

The Full-Day Workshop introduces the history, concepts and functionality of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and the Standard Reunification Method (SRM), including implementation of the programs, team training, advanced questions, and plenty of opportunities for networking with your peers. Participants will come away from this workshop able to train others within their organization on the SRP and the SRM.

We originally set out to hold The Briefings Symposium on September 5-6, and who would have guessed that it may not have been the best choice to hold a conference at the beginning of the school year and in the middle of wildfire season? Well, we listened to the messages and wanted to make sure everyone who wants to attend is able to, so we moved the Briefings Symposium to November 7-8, 2024. Just think of it as a couple of extra months to prepare yourself for this transformative experience.
