The weekly briefing for the week of 2026-09-14.

GSX opens in Atlanta this morning and runs to Wednesday. The ACFE's Africa conference opens in Johannesburg across the same three days — two of the biggest rooms on the calendar, on opposite sides of the world, at once.
The week keeps going after that. FALI-U is in Tampa on Wednesday, and Thursday brings two: SPI's dinner-meeting in Brooklyn, and the first D.A.CH Forum in Lochau.
Twenty-one of you have now reviewed Cannes, Prague and the SNARP AGM. If you were at one of them and have not written yours yet, the box is still open. It takes a minute, and it is the only record anyone has of what those weeks were actually like.
Two new dates further out: the P.I. International Summer School in Bucharest from 14 October, and the IX Congreso Internacional de Seguridad Privada in Cartagena on the 29th.
