A major new UK event is set to redefine how the nation approaches public safety and resilience, bringing together the full public protection ecosystem Emergency Services, National Security, Counter Terrorism, Forensics, Workplace Safety, Justice and Rehabilitation under one roof for the first time.
Public Protection Week (PPW), under the strapline Protect. Prevent. Respond., will launch on 22–23 June 2027 at Excel London a move that signals a step change in scale and ambition. This is not another co-located event. It is the UK’s first truly integrated public protection platform. At its core is a shift from siloed capability to a connected model built around the full operational lifecycle:
The event brings together leading brands including The Blue Light Show, Counter Terror Expo, Forensics Europe Expo and the newly launched Prison Expo, representing the full spectrum of public protection from front line response through to investigation, justice and rehabilitation.
Why Counter Terror Expo matters to the international security industry
For Security Buyer, the value of Counter Terror Expo is its ability to connect technology development with operational requirements. Exhibitors and speakers typically address practical issues such as system performance, interoperability, deployment, compliance, resilience, lifecycle cost and the integration of physical and digital security. That makes the event useful for buyers and specifiers who need to benchmark solutions rather than assess products in isolation. Depending on the event focus, visitors may be able to evaluate developments across public safety, border and infrastructure protection, policing technology, intelligence-led operations, emergency preparedness and specialist response, while also meeting manufacturers, distributors, integrators, consultants and service providers that support implementation.
The event can also provide useful market intelligence for organisations planning investment or reviewing their security strategy. Conference sessions, demonstrations and supplier discussions can help decision-makers understand emerging threats, regulatory expectations, procurement priorities and the operational impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence, analytics, biometrics, cloud platforms, secure communications and automation. For solution providers, the event offers a route to engage directly with buyers, channel partners and stakeholders responsible for project delivery, specification and long-term security performance.
Security Buyer will monitor Counter Terror Expo for product launches, major contracts, technology partnerships, leadership commentary and wider market developments relevant to the global security sector. Readers should use the official event website for the latest information on registration, opening times, exhibitors, conference programmes and any changes to dates or venue details. Where official social and video channels are available, they can also provide useful updates before, during and after the event.
