Speakers will include:
• Nick Sautner, Chief Executive, The Eden Park Trust, Auckland

The event will also feature a half-day workshop on Enhancing Personnel Security Management Geared at Preventing Insider Threat as well as a site tour to the Melbourne and Olympic Parks precinct.
Explaining the value of the event, the Marcus Evans spokesperson added “by attending this event, you will take back core strategies in intelligence sharing, security agencies liaising and communication, best practices in training and screening staff and contractors, security and safety designs for venues and events, and much more.”
