SIA opens registration for 2021 national conference

The Security Industry Authority has opened registration for its free 2021 national conference, which will take place on Wednesday 10 November.

It will be the first time the SIA has hosted a forum of this size since the beginning of the pandemic. The theme of this year’s conference will be ‘Opportunities for improved public safety in a post-Covid-19 world’.

The conference programme features sector-relevant topics for discussion and input from delegates, including: reflections on the events of the last 18 months, exploring lessons learned and implications for the future; a progress update on the SIA’s business and corporate plan and outline priorities for the remainder of the business year/or next 18 months; and an opportunity to network virtually, share experiences and discuss ideas/thoughts with representatives from across the private security industry.

The conference is open to all licensed security professionals and will be free of charge. It will also be the first opportunity to engage with the new chair of the Authority, Heather Baily QPM.

She said: “We’re very much looking forward to welcoming the industry to the SIA’s national conference. We’ve planned a virtual format for the safety of delegates and tailored the agenda to the needs of the industry with a series of break-out sessions during the afternoon. I would like to encourage as many UK licensed security professionals as possible to sign up and join the discussion.”
