The 2026 NC Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Symposium at NC State University is a dynamic, two-day gathering focused on the critical work of identifying and managing behavioral threats in educational settings. Designed for professionals across K-12 and higher education, the symposium offers an engaging and collaborative environment where attendees can learn directly from leading experts in the field. Participants will have the opportunity to explore current challenges in the threat assessment field, share their unique perspectives and gain practical strategies they can bring back to their own institutions.
Supported through the FY24 Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant awarded to NC State’s Department of Risk Assessment, this symposium is offered at no cost to attendees, helping remove financial barriers that often limit access to high-quality training and professional development. By bringing together experts and practitioners from across North Carolina, this event aims to strengthen a shared commitment to proactive threat assessment and foster meaningful connections that extend beyond the symposium.
