Maximising Prevention Strategies Through The Collection, Storage And Secure Sending Of Critical Information Between Agencies

NAT SEC 2008 will bring together agencies and organisations that work on the multiple aspects of counter-terrorism and public safety planning and will look at how they are transforming in order to cope with changing threat scenarios throughout Europe.

Over 200 senior government and military practitioners from the fields of emergency planning, prevention, intelligence gathering, analysis, border control, resilience and cyber security will gather for 2 main conference days and a dedicated cyber security focus day. These experts will debate and discuss current threats and future strategies for mitigating the changing threats that Europe is facing.

Interactive Roundtable Discussions

These interactive and informal discussion groups are a highlight of the conference. This is the time we set aside for you to ensure that you have an opportunity to meet with speakers and other participants on a one-to-one basis. A select group of speakers will lead individual discussions based on topics raised during the day. Each discussion group is limited to 12 delegates, which means that you'll have ample opportunity to raise questions and contribute to the discussion.

Make sure you sign up when you are on site to reserve your place on the discussion group of your choice. To really maximize the benefits of taking part, you should come fully armed with questions and points for discussion—the roundtables work best when everyone brings ideas to the table!
