Secure London 2009

October 28, 2009 - October 29, 2009
The Tower Guoman, London, UK

Introduction

'Secure London’ is a unique event aimed at globally placed organisers of the protection of infrastructure and large scale events. London, as a World leader in developing resilience solutions for man-made and natural disasters, will be able to demonstrate its capability and learn from its global partners in equal measure. Whether the focus is logistics, crowd dynamics, IT architecture, mass casualty, transport security, procurement, crime or physical protection, this conference concentrates on the workable, tried and tested critical elements that organisers need to plan for their own success. Delegates will be from the public services, the military, local authorities, academic facilities, government departments and the business community. Indeed, all organisations that have, or seek to have an involvement in the above disciplines are most welcome.
