Over 200 of the country’s leading security professionals are gathered at the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester today for the SJUK Leaders in Security Conference.

Delegates arrived at the venue early this morning for a breakfast and networking reception, before eagerly taking their seats in the main conference hall.

A message to Leaders

Following a welcome from Centurian Media CEO Ian Stokes and Conference Chair, Rick Mounfield, Tom O’Driscoll, Head of Security Operations and Intelligence at National Highways took to the stage to deliver the opening keynote.

O’Driscoll delivered a high-level overview of our current threat environment before delving into key themes for a successful security leader’s approach.

O’Driscoll will return to the stage at 16:25pm to moderate the final discussion of the day, ‘When disaster strikes: A leader’s guide to navigating a crisis.’ He will be joined by Norman Heit, Global Corporate Security and Resilience Director, Vodafone; Giles Hill, Senior Security Advisor & Chair International Security Advisory Board, International SOS and Everbridge’s Sam Trotman as they explore strategies for resource allocation, crisis communication and ensuring your organisation emerges from the crisis stronger than before.
