19th -23rd Oct - SyI Virtual Annual Conference 2020 - The Science of Security

Our conference week will begin daily at 9am, with our first presentation and 10am, meaning delegates will have one hour to enter our virtual exhibition centre and tune into the virtual delegate brochure and browse our online exhibition space. Delegates can then “take their seat” in our virtual conference centre. There will then be an afternoon break with further browsing opportunities across our exhibition hall and on our virtual auction stand, where bidding will commence on numerous items throughout the week.

The benefit of a 10-3 conference is that we can attract a wide range of expert speakers from time zones ahead of and behind the UK, which we would not have been able to do with a face-to-face conference.

Speakers will present on topics that will consider the importance of Science in all aspects of security, through:

·         Engineering

·         Psychology

·         Technology

·         The Human factors

·         The impacts of connectivity via the Internet of Things (IoT)

·         Forensic sciences

·         Impact of space exploration

Along with a range of other fascinating topics, all of which fantastic learning opportunities about future threats and mitigating theories that will enhance your knowledge and hopefully make you think harder and research further.

This year we will also be hosting an online charity auction from 16th to 23rd October hoping to raise money for the Security Benevolent Fund who have assisted so many struggling security personnel during the pandemic. With prizes from holidays to memorabilia, paintballing to fine dining at venues all over the UK and abroad, we are sure there will be something you would enjoy winning whilst helping us build on the fund that continues to be available to all of you, should you ever need it.

Details of speakers will follow as timeslots are confirmed. Watch them all or watch only one, it’s up to you.
