The Security Institute Events

The Close Protection World Global Security & Networking Conference

We attended The Close Protection World Global Security & Networking Conference at the Victory Services
Club in London on Friday 10th November 2023. Thank you to all our members, exhibitors, and visitors
who came along to meet us.

We welcomed professionals from varying security disciplines to our stand. This exhibition was centrally
located in London and provided a hub for our members to come along to meet The Security Institute and
the Chartered Security Professional teams and ask questions. This was a full-day event starting from 10am
until 10pm. Exhibitors hosted their stands within the Carisbrooke Hall, the balcony, and within the bar
area. All attendees received a delegates pack that included information about all sponsors and exhibitors
providing a useful point of reference.

Our interim Chief Executive Frank Cannon CSyP FSyI was one of the Guest Speakers in the Trafalgar Room
at 11am, where he provided information about The Security Institute’s vision and mission, and member
benefits including details of membership grades. He also talked about the vaue in beoming a Registered
Chartered Security Professional, and ended his talk with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.

The conference hosted a full day of knowledge, expertise, and career opportunities, and we are honoured
that we gave our seal of approval by sponsoring and attending this event. The sponsored drinks reception
at the end of the conference provided an opportunity for delegates to meet and build on any new and
existing contacts in an informal and friendly environment.
