The summit takes place in London on January 19 and 20.
It will deliver a knowledge and experience-sharing opportunity around the procurement requirements for sports events, ranging from domestic competitions to world championships.
SunGard Vivista focuses on public safety, criminal justice and Local Government and has a long history of providing command and control and communications systems to the emergency services, both locally and nationally.
Its portable operator Integrated Communications Control System (ICCS) can be used to control public safety within sports grounds and at major events.
Robin Chillman, SunGard Vivista's public safety director, said: "We have recently been successful in entering the transport-related sector with contracts with British Transport Police and the Highways Agency and we view the sports and events sector as a natural extension of the Public Safety market."
International Sports Security Summit '06 will focus on 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.
