On the Global Counter Terror & Security Summit you will find high-level policy updates and strategic insights addressing the latest global terror and security trends, as well as priorities.
A key subject will be Martyn’s Law. With the new Government’s commitment to deliver the legislation and its inclusion in this new Parliament’s king’s speech, visitors will get to hear from Shaun Hipgrave who heads up the Government’s Homeland Security Group, who have drafted the legislation, and from NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office) who will be implementing it. Figen Murray OBE will be in discussion with Supt Amanda King, head of NaCTSO as part of the popular realities of Terror thread, whilst Travis Frain OBE will have his own talk and join a panel sharing the lived experience of terrorism.
Other talks on the Summit from those working to steer national strategy include Phil Douglas, Director General of Border Force, speaking about the future of UK border security – a subject that couldn’t be more topical.

A host of other speakers on the Summit, will cover subjects from how the current Middle East conflict may affect terrorist acts, protective security challenges and advances, an overview of the UK Counter Weapons Threat Team Capability and talks on the role cybersecurity plays in terrorism and threats to national security.
On the International Security & Resilience Conference, sponsored by CSL, essential topics covered will include everything from aviation security to HVM at the UEFA 2024 tournament, diversity in the industry to protecting women from violence, reconstruction in Ukraine and so much more.
The quality of speakers across the talks and panels is exceptional.

George Vit from South Brunswick Township Police Department will discuss technology in Law Enforcement in the United States, and how British companies should do business with the over 17,000 police departments in the US.
