Building on the success of the inaugural event in London last year, The International Sports Security Summit ’05 will be the world’s leading forum for discussion and information sharing among all those whose roles involve organising, sanctioning, bidding for or policing sports events.
Despite the 2004 Athens Olympic Games passing off without any significant incidents, security remains a key concern for event organisers and rights holders.
Ensuring the security of athletes, spectators and facilities at Athens demanded the most complex, exhaustive and costly intelligence and security operation ever staged around a sports event.
International Sports Security Summit ’05 will focus of the continuing security challenges facing event owners, managers, promoters and their partners and associates in local and national government and the intelligence and security services.
The International Sports Security Summit is presented by Rushmans and partnered by SportBusiness International, the leading magazine serving the global sports sector.
Over two days, acknowledged experts from sports federations, police and intelligence services, government departments and the global security services sectors will draw on their first-hand experience to present papers and lead discussions that examine the wide-ranging issues around major event security.
Complementing the conference will be a select exhibition of leading-edge products and services designed to play critical roles in the battle to ensure the security of the millions who attend sports events each year.
