Organised by the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) in partnership with the Greater Manchester Police (GMP), the event – entitled ‘Manchester 2012: Going For Gold’ – will take place on Wednesday 18 April at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
Free-to-attend for delegates, the event is aimed at providing advice and guidance to any local businesses that may be affected by the Olympic Games.
The arrival of the Games will have a significant impact not just in London but in over 30 live sites across the country, with 37 competition venues earmarked to stage events. Alongside the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the summer of 2012 will also see a range of other celebrations, not least the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Event organiser Christine Brooks of the BSIA commented: “This one-day, security-focused event is aimed at providing businesses with the latest information and guidance on planning for the impact of Games time. Many businesses operate near Olympic venues, or will have their operations and supply chain affected by road disruptions. This event will prove invaluable in helping such businesses make robust plans for dealing with the challenges of this summer’s events.”
Presentations on a range of topics
Delegates will be treated to an exclusive insight from across the police and security sectors, with presentations on a range of topics including the terrorist threat, the role of the Greater Manchester Police and how businesses will be affected.
The event will be formally opened by ACC Garry Shewan of Greater Manchester Police, with confirmed speakers to date for the seminar programme including:
Advice and guidance will also be on hand from a range of exhibitors, including security consultants, service providers and manufacturers, all of whom will be showcasing the latest products and services available to help businesses tackle crime.
A buffet lunch is also being provided courtesy of the exhibitors.
