Please note that this event has now been postponed.
Unfortunately SITC considered the early bookings by SME delegates insufficient to justify the high level of speaker and exhibitor involvement. Please note that if you have already booked on line, these transactions will not be processed and no fund transfer to SITC will take place.
Venue: Central Hall Westminster, Storey's Gate, London, SW1H 9NH
Background:
Organisational efficiency and the identification of market opportunities are two of the critical success factors for small and medium enterprises with high growth potential in the security sector. Expert advice is an expensive commodity that many SME’s find difficulty in resourcing. SITC has designed this event to enable its members to access a range of relevant specialist services and advice in a ‘one stop shop’ seminar.
The first half of the day provides short, punchy presentations covering the key challenges faced by specialist security companies striving for operational efficiency and growth. The second half of the day sets out the support available for the identification and exploitation of overseas market opportunities.
During coffee and lunch breaks delegates will be able to visit the stands of the specialist support providers and to network with fellow delegates. The day will conclude with a panel discussion followed by a further networking opportunity over drinks.
