FEBRUARY:

AVIATION SECURITYLondon, UK

Aviation Security 2011 will build on the success of IQPC’s other Aviation / AirportSecurity conferences in the US, Singapore, Dubai and India and bring the event toa European audience. In order for airport authorities and airline operators to becompliant with the expanding and increasingly stringent compliancerequirements placed upon them by national and European legislation, they areforced to spend increasing amounts of money on new security equipment,personnel and training. However, besides higher costs, these stringent measuresalso result in decreased rates of passenger through-put which means reducedprofits for the airports and airlines. Meeting compliance standards is made moredifficult by a lack of clarity as to what requirements the aviation security shouldmeet, when to meet them, how they can meet them and the technologiesavailable to them. Present at the conference will be leading securityrepresentatives from the world’s busiest airports, international airline operators,associations and law-making bodies as well as from technology providers, todiscuss the modern security threats and challenges facing the industry, thestrategies to overcome these and the technology solutions available to help themdo this.

SECURITY PORTFOLIOThe world is closer and better connected than ever. Butthe benefits of Globalisation, mass transport andrevolutionised communications also bring new threatsfrom international terrorism and crime. Nationalsecurity is now at the top of every nation’s agenda.People and infrastructure are no longer far removedfrom conflict zones thousands of miles away as terroristviolence in the US, Spain, UK and India has madepainfully clear. Our enemies are only to happy to targetour “soft spots”. Recent attacks on civilians at borderpoints and the crucial transport links we depend uponreveal our vulnerability. Yet the constant developmentof strategy and technology allows us to counter thesethreats. Defence IQ is committed to facilitating theexploration of how we increase our national security.From border control to Aviation Security to Biometrictechnologies, we’ll bring together the Government andsecurity stakeholders who matter, leveraging theirexpertise to make our world safer.

ABOUT DEFENCE IQDefence IQ is host to a series of global events and runs an online community of military and private sectorprofessionals. We provide the platform on which leading defence experts share their experience, knowledge andstrategic thoughts. We are dedicated to providing military personnel and the private sector with strategic defenceresources covering current defence issues. Join the community: http://www.defenceiq.com/join.cfm

Why Invest In Conferencing as a Marketing & PR Vehicle?It’s a strange phenomenon, but our conferences actually become even more effective for our sponsors in a tightermarket. Budget cuts mean that certain military attendees at our events (the uniforms that look like active buyers,but aren’t) disappear. They disappear because their attendance is a marginal need for their organisation. Theydon’t have a specific & explicit requirement to address, so the budget for their attendance gets stopped.Consequently, the percentage of military attendees who have a genuine and pressing requirement that they doneed to address – and have funding available to address it – goes up.

Defence IQ events provide you with extensive range of sponsorship platforms, enabling you to build relationshipsand promote your organisation in three key areas: Thought Leadership, Branding and Featured Networking Events.
