Chris discussing influence from his
personal perspective. He discussed the
social influencer, and how social media
“followers”, and other social influences

Institute as an organisation, and the
growth of networks and connections are

This was followed by the final appearance of
the Conference Chair, Brian Dillon CSyP FSyI,
who provided a seamless summary of the day’s
agenda. Reminding us of the conference theme
and highlighting the key messages of each

FSyI presented gifts to all guest speakers before
delegates left the auditorium to enjoy networking drinks in
the Atrium, and enjoyed a Charity Raffle with all proceeds
being donated to the Security Benevolent Fund.
