February 6 – Signature Breakfast with Brink Fidler

Join us at our signature breakfast hosted by KCS on Friday, February 6, for a powerful and engaging morning with Brink Fidler, founder of Defend Systems and former law enforcement veteran, as he shares real-world insights and practical techniques that every organization, leader, and community member should know. His extensive background and years of studying active shooter events give him a unique and practical perspective on this growing threat. A widely recognized security expert and frequent speaker, Fidler is passionate about equipping others to protect themselves. He models his business around the company mission statement: “Empowering you to save lives, including your own“.

Drawing on years of research and analysis of dozens of active violence events, this session reveals what works and what does not when it comes to preventing and mitigating attacks. Brink Fidler will share insights from the shooting at The Covenant School, highlighting how faculty and staff, equipped with proper training, implemented life-saving strategies during the crucial fourteen minutes before law enforcement arrived.

Brink’s presentation focuses on awareness, readiness, and empowerment — not fear. You’ll gain valuable knowledge and simple strategies to help you stay informed, confident, and prepared in today’s world.
