by Mark Rowe

Morten Therkildsen, Head of Security, Health and Safety at Roskilde Festival; Andy Palmer, Border Security Lead, Gatwick Airport; and Richard Latham, Head of Security, The O2 are among speakers at an event security and safety summit in east London today. Topics include drones, high footfall screening, behavioural detection and festival security. Opening the day at 10am is Ben Wallace, Home Office Minister of State for Security.

Duncan Cullen, Business Development Manager at event security and stewarding contract company TSG, formerly a Leicestershire Police superintendent, is part of a panel of six discussing ‘Preparation, Planning & Prevention’, at the ILMC new Event Safety & Security Summit (E3S) this morning.

Cullen, Morten Therkildsen, Richard Latham, Mark Breen, Director of Safe Events, Ian Kerr, Director of ID Resilience and Kate Bunyan, Founder of MB Medical Services, will focus on understanding current terror methodologies and anticipating new means of attack.

The ‘3Ps’ session will also look at planning a variation of security protocols to prevent becoming predictable, setting up communication channels between police, local authorities, event stakeholders, security and the artist, and whether an industry-wide rethink is needed.

Greg Parmley, Head of the ILMC, said: “With input and active involvement from some of the most renowned security, venue and event experts in the business, ES3 will be a forum to share information and best practice, as well as the latest concepts and tools related to security at live events.”
