Security & Policing Thought Leadership Panel and Security Dinner

Booked exhibitors are invited to join us on Wednesday 12 March for an evening of discussion, dining and networking at the annual Security & Policing Thought Leadership Panel & Security Dinner.

This panel will bring together senior representatives from Government, policing and industry to discuss the future challenges facing law enforcement in the United Kingdom and overseas.

The Thought Leadership Panel, will be followed by a drinks reception and security dinner with remarks from a senior Government official.

At the 2025 event, chair Dr. Paul Killworth, Deputy Chief Scientific Advisor for National Security, led a discussion on the emerging threats and opportunities around data security and sharing, data integration, and interoperability. We explored how national security and law enforcement agencies can better partner with industry to address these challenges and harness the opportunities. In a world of smart cities and advanced industrial control systems, these data challenges span the societal, physical, industrial, and digital realms.

Previous themes have included:

  • the importance of data in national security and policing
  • applications of artificial intelligence in policing and national security
  • challenges of future law enforcement

Previous chairs and panellists include:

  • Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, Chair of the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC)
  • Professor Jennifer Rubin, Chief Scientific Advisor, and DG Science, Technology, Analysis and Research (STAR), Home Office
  • Rosamund Powell, Research Associate at the Centre for Emerging Technology and Security, The Alan Turing Institute
  • Sir Matthew Rycroft, Permanent Secretary, Home Office
