Chris O. Communications Concludes Campaign for American Security Challenge

SEVERNA PARK, Md., October 7, 2010 – Remarks from former U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, dozens of companies having presented their technology to potential investors and event coverage in multiple trade publications marked the successful close of the American Security Challenge conference.

The conference brought together government and corporate leaders, entrepreneurs and investors devoted to bringing the latest technologies to market for our nation’s homeland security.  Under the auspices of the National Security Initiative, the Challenge increases visibility of these technologies and facilitates the commercialization process.

Retained to plan segments of the meeting and boost attendance, Chris O. Communications provided strategic counsel and raised awareness of the event.  Promotion via social media channels as well as media coverage in Washington Technology, Security Management and Government Security News magazines emphasized the event’s significance as a way to commercialize new technologies and incorporate them into the war on terror.
