FAST — a 501(c)(3) organization created by SIA and the Electronic Security Association to promote careers in the physical security technology industry — has set up a cornhole area as part of the Career Zone, where attendees can come by to enjoy a game of cornhole, network, learn more about FAST and make do­nations to the organization in support of FAST’s mission.
