Security in the spotlight

Security concerns around sports events are to be addressed at a major, executive-level conference to be staged in London later this year.

The International Sports Security Summit will be staged at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in central London on October 27-28.

The event, designed for event professionals, organisers, major event managers, police, security and intelligence agencies, emergency services, club officials and representatives of the private security sector, will examine the worsening security climate, assess the threat to sports events and provide insight and practical advice on the steps to be taken to develop and implement appropriate security strategies and programmes.

The event is being organised by Rushmans and is supported by media partner SportBusiness International – publisher of both sportbusiness.com
