For the first time ever, Clarion Events is presenting three co-located shows from 29th to 30th April at London’s Olympia. Between them, Counter Terror Expo, Ambition and Forensics Europe Expo will showcase the latest technology and techniques for everything from the prevention of terrorist attacks, to the emergency services response when an attack does occur, to the forensic examination of the scene after the event.
Never before has the opportunity existed to see and understand the whole counter terrorism picture, from start to finish, at one location. In addition to hundreds of leading companies exhibiting their products and their services, each show will have its own programme of conferences, symposiums and workshops, featuring leading experts in their respective fields, and offering, collectively, a unique educational experience.
Now in its 6th edition, Counter Terror Expo has become the premier international event for bringing manufacturers and service providers together with buyers and specifiers from across the spectrum of Government, Military, Law Enforcement, Emergency Services, Critical National Infrastructure, Private Sector and the Security Services.
Offering the most comprehensive display of technology, equipment and services alongside a high level education programme designed to protect against the evolving security threat, Counter Terror Expo will host a number of Featured Zones dedicated to everything from Armoured & Support Vehicles to Maritime Security; from Border Security and Access Control to C-IED; from Integrated Security in Action to Cyber Terrorism.
David Thompson, Event Manager for Counter Terror Expo & Ambition:
“We’re confident that we have put together a comprehensive show that will be of immediate and practical relevance to every professional involved in the counter terror and security arena. The threat from extremist groups is not just ever present, it is ever evolving. Counter Terror Expo will definitely help anyone involved in countering that threat to keep right up-to-date with all the latest developments.”
Ambition, now in its in 4th edition, is the only show of its kind to enjoy the full support of all NHS Ambulance Services, from their senior managers to their frontline staff.
Focused on delivering excellence in pre-hospital care in all circumstances, there will be a strong emphasis on crisis management and the response to serious mass-casualty incidents such as those caused by terrorist attacks. As such, Ambition will feature important contributions from NARU (National Ambulance Resilience Unit) and JESIP (Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme) to help further the development of effective cooperation between all of the emergency services.
Founder of Ambition, Carl Rees, said:
“A one-stop-shop for anyone involved in pre-hospital care, emergency response, crisis management, interoperability and resilience, Ambition has been designed to ensure that professionals at all levels learn something new and develop their knowledge and capabilities whilst also providing excellent opportunities to network with other multiagency partners.”
David Jervis of JESIP (Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme) commented:
“JESIP is in the process of delivering the largest and most ambitious joint training programme ever undertaken by the three blue light emergency services. It is designed to improve further the way the services work together in the early stages of the response to a major incident which could be an accident, natural disaster or terrorist-related.
It is crucial that all the agencies involved in prevention of, or response to, such incidents understand each others’ roles, and are able to work seamlessly together in order to save lives and reduce harm.
Such exhibitions and conferences as this can only help achieve that objective.”
Forensics Europe Expo is the only international forum dedicated to the entire forensic sector and its supply chain, enabling producers to promote, and buyers to source, the very latest forensic products, equipment and services. Covering Crime Scene and DNA Analysis through to Digital and Mobile Forensics, the show will provide an exceptional source of education, best practice, training and international networking opportunities.
David Thompson, Event Manager for Counter Terror Expo & Ambition:
“Forensics Europe Expo will undoubtedly offer every professional in the field an unrivalled insight into the very latest developments in technologies and techniques. But in addition, through its co-location with Counter Terror Expo and Ambition, the show will create unparalleled scope for the cross-fertilisation of ideas in the ongoing work to combat the efforts of terrorist and other extremist groups, wherever they may come from.”
