🎺 The August 2024 edition of Security Journal UK is OUT NOW!🎺 📖 Read your FREE digital edition here 👉: https://lnkd.in/eXBqxfCF With nearly 300 senior security professionals in attendance, the SJUK Leaders in Security Conference held on Tuesday 16 July was a huge success and the buzz on social media since has been phenomenal. Delegates have been sharing their takeaways, praising the quality of content and discussing the innovative ideas presented, sparking broader conversations within the security community. A huge thank you to our Conference Chair, Rick Mounfield MSc CSyP FSyI, our Advisory Panel, our Partners and Intellectual Partners for helping us to create an exceptional delegate experience. Thanks too to FGH Security for providing security on the day and the Association of Security Consultants for co-hosting the networking drinks reception afterwards. When we started this journey, the aim was to get 120 senior leaders in the room. To more than double that figure is a testament to everyone involved in the process. Demand was unprecedented and we are sorry to those we were unable to accommodate.

I recently had the privilege of attending and speaking at the SJUK Leaders in Security Conference in Manchester, and I must say, it was one of the most meaningful and informative events I have participated in. The conference was not only meticulously organised but also offered a diverse range of topics that are crucial in today's security landscape. A huge thank you to the organisers for creating such an engaging and impactful experience. The quality of the sessions, the expertise of the speakers, and the networking opportunities were truly unparalleled. It's events like these that drive the security industry forward and foster the exchange of ideas and best practices. 📅 Save the Date for Next Year! Mark your calendars for 25th June 2025 at The Hilton Deansgate, Manchester. If this year's event is any indication, the 2025 conference will be an absolute must-attend for anyone in the security field.
