SEC Chiefs Kentucky Conference

The SEC Chiefs Kentucky Conference is a one-day, operationally focused event hosted by the University of Kentucky, themed around Advancing SEC Game Day Operations Through Technology, Intelligence, and Coordinated Response. It brings together public safety leaders from SEC institutions to share how they’re modernizing game day and campus security through emerging tech and coordinated response models.

What attendees can expect to take away:

• A modern view of game day command operations — how SEC schools are evolving from traditional command centers to real-time crime centers with integrated situational awareness.
• Practical exposure to emerging operational technology — indoor positioning, responder visibility, data-driven operations, and Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs for campus and event response.
• Lessons from high-profile sporting events — including operational planning insights from the upcoming Argentina vs. Honduras international match at Texas A&M, with takeaways relevant to SEC campuses.
• Strategies for building a connected command center — integrating video, drone feeds, dispatch, communications, and operational dashboards into one environment.
• Peer dialogue on the toughest current challenges — an executive roundtable covering field/court storming, protests, staffing, AI-generated threats, and social-media-driven incidents.
