XC TECH TALK WITH GUARDIAN ZONE
Recorded on 12/09/2022
Dr. Lou Marciani, the Director and Co-Founder of the Innovation Institute for Fan Experience (IIFX) discusses the power of "safety in the palm of your hand" provided by the Guardian Zone app and security platform with Sheryl Pinckney-Maas, the Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Zone. Topics include:

• Sports and Entertainment Industry Use Cases
• Safety and Security Challenges that Guardian Zone addresses at sports and entertainment venues, festivals, concerts, universities, and high schools
• Guardian Zone's unique capabilities empowering fans to document and report what they see to security in real-time
• What fans, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, expect from event producers and venues in terms of their safety and security
• Duty of care

Guardian Zone is a woman-and-minority-owned security software-as-a-service (SaaS) company located in Colleyville, Texas that has created a new digital security platform that enhances public safety at medium and large facilities and venues.
Guardian Zone technology gathers crowdsourced intelligence in real-time from staff, vendors, and fans at concerts, festivals, and stadiums to support on-site security personnel. It is a force multiplier that allows event security to respond faster to incidents while encouraging fan engagement before, during and after an incident.
Guardian Zone's goal is to put safety in every hand.
Guardian Zone's cloud-based technology is easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy and interactive with mass notification capabilities. It provides security with actionable intelligence, location, and other key information for a quicker response.
Guardian Zone's mobile app and software allow patrons with a smartphone to connect immediately with on-site security via the security portal to alert them to crowd flow problems, egregious behavior (e.g., fights, thefts, and sexual assault) medical emergencies and active shooters.
Guardian Zone is a member of the Security Industry Association (SIA), SIA’s Women In Security Forum (WISF), Innovation Institute of Fan Experience (IIFX), and the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4)
