With heightened awareness of threats to the safety of religious institutions, there was a focus on safety and security. Participants received active shooter training as well as CPR certification and 'Stop the Bleed' training. Chabad on Campus International's security consultant met with each couple to review their security protocols.

There are full service Chabad Jewish student centers on 256 campuses around the world and hundreds more receive Jewish resources from their local Chabad. The annual convention is a chance for the couples who have made it their mission to service Jewish students with their Jewish needs at their place of study, to network and support each other.
