Key to the success of International Security Expo is our expert Advisory Council. Chaired by Figen Murray OBE, the Advisory Council ensures the most pressing security challenges we are all facing are reflected throughout the event, shaping our agendas to cover the full spectrum of security trends and meeting our visitors needs, attracting the highest calibre of security professionals.
2026 Chair's Message:
"It is a real privilege and honour to become chair of International Security Expo. For many years it has been clear how important this event is to the global security industry - from the wealth of innovation on display to the incredible speakers who impart their knowledge and experience, along with the unique opportunity to engage with UK Government. I know first-hand just how valuable this has been in the long journey to get Martyn's Law signed into legislation. I am extremely excited to take on this prestigious role, lead the Advisory Council and help steer the direction of International Security Expo so it continues as one of the world's leading events for countering terrorism and keeping us all safe."
