Security TWENTY Special

Security TWENTY Special is our two day, meet the buyer event which takes place in the SOUTH on 12-13 March 2024 at the home of rugby union, Twickenham Stadium and in the NORTH on 2-3 July 2024 at the home of Man Utd FC, Old Trafford Football Stadium in Manchester.

Day 1 starts at 10 am for registration, introductions and an overview of the event. We then arrange a day of 30 minute appointments where exhibitors have private meeting rooms in the stadiums where attendees can discuss requirements and solutions with manufacturers including lunch. These appointments will be matched to ensure that there is a genuine requirement from both manufacturer and delegate to avoid time wasting. After guests have checked into their bedrooms at the onsite hotel (which is integrated into the stadium) and had chance to  freshen up, there will be an  opportunity for a full tour of the stadiums so that guests can see behind the scenes of these iconic venues. On the evening of day 1, we will come together for a relaxed three course dinner in the   stunning dining rooms overlooking each of the stadiums including hosted bar to encourage more networking opportunities.

 

Day 2 after breakfast, we will arrange a further morning of 30 minute appointments . We will finish at 1pm where you will be free to stay for lunch or leave for home or the office. In total exhibitors will have sixteen 30 minute appointments over the two days. For your exhibition space, you have a private and  enclosed room with no distractions and can engage in secure discussions. What you put in that room is up to you – either equipment   demos or presentation on laptop and banners etc. All of our attendees will be high level  decision makers and   influencers who have been specially  selected. We want these events to be a great success for all of our attendees so won’t be wasting anyone’s time. The plan is that even if you don’t have an appointment with every delegate you should go away from the events knowing everyone who attended and having made some firm business connections.

Thank you both for a thoroughly well organised, beneficial and enjoyable event. I was very pleased with each of my meetings even the extra one Liz insisted I attend and on Friday when I drove away at the end I felt satisfied that my time had been well used and some worthwhile business had been done. The venue and layout were first class and I would certainly highly recommend its use again, another bonus was the catering which was excellent. – Kevin Hall, Openview

I can only echo the responses of my Professional Colleagues,  the event was extremely well organised and managed. The opportunities to spend professional and leisure time with such a great mix of dedicated professionals was superb.  In addition I must also add that both yourself and Roy,  provided support and the mix of humour and professional input which made the event very special. I have personally made some friends,  who will continue to be involved in both my professional and hopefully leisure time,  so thank you both – Bob Stanbridge, GLH Hotel Group

Liz, Thank you to you and Roy for a great event last week. This was my first event of this type and I felt it was very well organised and offered us as an exhibitor a great opportunity to meet with the right type of decision makers. Thank you again for the opportunity. – Dean Kernot, Vista

Just a note to thank you for your hospitality. An excellent run event as ever, had a very enjoyable time. – Richard Parnell, Total Security Protection

Just to say a big thank you to you and your professional team for organisation a very successful event. The concept of consultants meeting industry leaders was indeed a fantastic opportunity and one I found most rewarding and an education! I also met many smashing people, some old friends and also made many new friends and will be meeting with them again in the near future. – Bill Croft, Bill Croft Associates

It’s very difficult trying to keep up with how manufacturers are embracing new technology at the speed they are so when an organiser like Professional Security invites you to an event with a number of manufacturers to meet it is worth taking the time to attend. With approximately 4 meetings per morning, for 30 mins each, you get a taste of what is being offered by the companies you have been scheduled with. The networking opportunities that also present themselves over the 2 days are excellent with a good all round selection of people attending. – Warren Collins, Bridge Technical Consultants

A big congratulations to the Professional Security team on completion of another successful event. As you know this is our second year attending the special event and again we found it of great benefit. Not only was it an opportunity to discuss potential business opportunities and to showcase what Pelco by Schneider Electric can offer but its was a great opportunity to discuss market trends and changes with industry professionals. We look forward to attending again next year. – Tony Burns, Pelco

Congratulations to you and the rest of the team for organising another slick and most enjoyable event. I am grateful to both you and Roy for the kind invitation and for accommodating me at short notice on Monday night, which is highly appreciated. I have already arranged a follow-up meeting time with one of the exhibitors to meet the rest of my team, and I plan to engage in further exhibitor follow-ups in the future.   Simon Whitehouse, SGW Consulting

I just wanted to thank you both for having me last week at Celtic Manor. It was a fantastic couple of days/nights, I met with some great people and thoroughly enjoyed myself in the process. – Jack Cooper, Allcooper Group

Fantastic couple of days at the Security TWENTY Special Event. It was great to see some familiar faces and great to network within our industry. Massive thanks to Liz Lloyd and Roy Cooper for arranging a great event! Looking forward to the next one. – Joe McKay, Wilson James

Thank you very much for the invitation to the Special Event.  The opportunity for networking and the structured 1-2-1’s were spot on, some real positive meetings from my point of view. Despite the cold, the golf was lovely, all the more so because of the excellent company that made up our 4-ball.  Tragically we didn’t ‘stalk’ any celebrities around the course, but there’s always next year. Well done on splendid event. – Eamonn Murphy, TIS
