UK Security Expo

Businesses across the west are facing a prolonged period of terrorist threat but many FMs are not given the help they need to evaluate the risks to their buildings and then understand what they should do about them.

UK Security Expo (30 Nov – 1 Dec, Olympia, London) provides a key focus on facilities and emergency planning. Counter Terrorism for Facilities Managers is a free to attend workshop that covers everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask:, including: the top ten key things you need to know about terrorism; how to make your building terrorism resistant, communicating in a crisis and building links with safety and security.

The workshop will be led by Chris Phillips, former Head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, responsible for the UK Crowded Places Strategy, with a panel of expert speakers including Jim MacKenzie, Special Adviser, Centre for Risk-Reducing Design, David Cox, European Channel Manager – Window Film, 3M, Peter Joyce, Chair of the London Branch, EPS and Caroline Field, Head of Risk and Resilience at BuroHappold Engineering.

The Designing out Terrorism Conference includes specialist sessions relevant to FMs on SABRE, intelligent buildings and mitigating the terrorist threat. Put learning into action on the Crisis Management Training workshop delivered by NYA. Acting as members of a corporate crisis management team, attendees will be required to structure their response to an unfolding crisis incident. 

The Securing Crowded Places Immersive Demonstrator in association with the Home Office, JSaRC and CPNI uses the event venue itself as the place to be protected. The interactive feature demonstrates how a combination of technology, processes and techniques can be applied imaginatively in a variety of operational scenarios to improve protection from terrorist attack.

With over 8,000 visitors, 200 exhibitors, 6 conferences, workshops and live demonstrations, UK Security Expo is the flagship event for a global audience working in transport, government, energy, major events, communications, finance, utilities and private sector. All content is free of charge with CPD accreditation.
