Global Counter Terror & Security Summit

Global Counter Terror & Security Summit

International Security Expo is renowned for bringing together high-level global speakers from across government, academia and the end-user community, to share their insights and give attendees access to a free CPD programme unmatched in any other security event.

The Global Counter Terror & Security Summit will be packed with outstanding speakers across both days of the event. Themes will include the latest on the implementation of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law), now it has achieved Royal Ascent. This is the only event where you will get to hear about the political impetus behind this new legislation, understand the policy thinking and development from senior Directors from the Home Office's Homeland Security Group who drafted it, and those at NaCTSO and the SIA implementing and policing the legislation.

“Terror Attacks in Europe: Key Trends and Developments” will open the Summit on Day One and is delivered by the renowned Lina Kolesnikova. This sets the scene for later that day when Dr Aaron Edwards from the War Studies Department at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst outlines “Emerging Security Trends in a Multi-polarised World”.

Continuing the popular Realities of Terror theme from the past few years, Day 1 will finish with insights from New York as we are hugely privileged to have a team from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum coming across to give their unique insights from that terrible day and its aftermath.

See the first confirmed talks below and keep checking back as more will be added, with the full Summit programme coming soon.
