All thirty-seven education sessions and full access to the exhibit hall, featuring 100-plus suppliers, are free of charge to professionals working in public or private security, law enforcement or life-safety.

The Midwest Security & Police Conference / Expo, now in its eleventh year, is being held in Peoria for the first time, relocating from its traditional home in Rosemont. It is expected that Peoria will offer a more user friendly environment than its big city, Chicago-land alternative. While just a two and a half hour drive from Chicago, Peoria offers convenient access for police, and security professionals working in downstate communities, businesses and institutions.
