The next era of defence
Security Conference 2024 is a call to action. Join us as we empower the industry to defend together, share intelligence and productively strengthen sector resilience. Gain knowledge, strategies, and the collaborative spirit needed to protect valuable research data, student information, and institutional reputation. Together, we can power education and research into the next era of defence.
Programme themes
Four key themes will run across each of our event days.
Leadership and governance

We'll address the need for efficient and effective operational process, continuous monitoring, and assurance mechanisms to validate cyber security measures.

Sustainability - reducing our global impact
We work hard to reduce the impact that Security Conference 2024 has on the environment, locally and globally.
Location
Security conference 2024 takes place in person on the 26 and 27 November at the ICC Wales. The ICC Wales has several measures in place to reduce its environmental impact which include:
- Continuing to minimise the amount of waste disposed of as general waste, increasing recycling and supporting the circular economy, by providing the correct level of waste receptacles
- Reducing packaging waste by using recyclable packaging where possible
- Using locally grown products and create menus around seasonal ingredients
- Using low emission vehicles for travel between ICC Wales sister sites for staff members
- Using LED lighting throughout the venue
- Publishing performance on environmental performance
- By offering the opportunity to attend online on the 9 November, hundreds of delegates will not need to travel to Newport

Exhibition
We work with exhibition suppliers who offer multiple display deliveries and re-use stands which further reduce the environmental impact vs traditional 'space only' events.
We actively encourage exhibitors to be mindful of their environmental impact.
The approach we take with our exhibitions encourages the use of digital messaging, reducing the opportunity for printed materials, graphics, and giveaways.
