News Special: BCI World Conference and Exhibition 2017 Working Together on Common Objectives The Business Continuity Institute’s annual BCI World Conference and Exhibition 2017 takes place at the Novotel London West Hotel in November. Risk UK is an Official Media Partner for the event, previewed here by Brian Sims *The online Registration Form for BCI World 2017 is available at www.bciworld2017.com **Exhibitors at the 2017 event include Daisy Group, Sungard Availability Services, Everbridge, Regus, Fusion Risk Management, Anvil Group, Buckinghamshire New University, Intertek and The Emergency Planning College Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe QPM: Former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service BCI World is the largest business continuityfocused conference and exhibition in the UK and, indeed, one of the biggest on the global scale. This year, the event – which runs across Tuesday 7 and Wednesday 8 November at the Novotel London West Hotel in Hammersmith – features a packed conference programme, an exhibition hall promoting the latest business continuity-centric products and services, a themed Gala Dinner and the BCI Global Awards Ceremony designed to showcase the best in the industry. The conference programme includes thought leadership discussion and debates, detail on new research, practical demonstrations and Case Studies centred on the real-world application of business continuity activities. The programme is suitable for all levels of practitioners (be they new to the discipline or harbouring experience) from a wide range of sectors. In years gone by, this event has been attended by heads of emergency management, business continuity managers, company directors, senior executives, business continuity and risk consultants, operational specialists and risk managers representing – but not exclusive to – the oil and gas, Government, financial, manufacturing, retail, IT, utilities, transport and telecoms sectors. Those with responsibility for business continuity, risk management, emergency management, crisis or incident management, disaster recovery, security, information security, Health and Safety, change management, procurement or facilities management will find much of interest at this event. Attendees will be able to share good practice in business continuity and resilience with experts and improve both their knowledge and understanding with a view towards enhancing professional development. It’s a golden opportunity for practitioners to place themselves at the heart of global thought leadership, gain practical insights and then apply them to their organisation. They can benefit from excellent networking opportunities and view, compare and experience first-hand the very latest business continuity-related products, solutions and services. Keynote Speakers in 2017 One of this year’s Keynote Speakers is Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe QPM, former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service. In this role, which he left in February this year, Sir Bernard presided over an organisation of 50,000 people with a budget of £3.2 billion providing a service for the 8.6 million inhabitants of London. He also held national responsibilities, including leading counter-terrorism policing throughout the UK and protecting the heart of Government. In the Keynote Plenary at conference, Sir Bernard will focus on three major themes: the importance of business continuity planning and training in order to realise enhanced resilience, the overriding importance of working in partnership and also building enough capacity into the system to make sure that, when a continuity plan doesn’t quite survive initial contact with a disruptive event, there’s enough leadership and resources on hand to ensure an effective and efficient response. There’s also going to be a Keynote Speech from a senior figure at the all-new National Cyber Security Centre. ‘Bio-Hacking’ and data security On Day Two, the Keynote Speaker is Kevin Warwick, Emeritus Professor at Coventry University and the University of Reading. Warwick is a world-renowned scientist and engineer, with his key areas of research being Artificial Intelligence, control, robotics and biomedical engineering. Warwick became the world’s first ‘Cyborg’ in a set of scientific experiments involving the surgical implanting of a device into his arm to link his nervous system directly to a computer. At BCI World 2017, Warwick will consider the implications of the potential for microchipping employees, the advantages of linking a human brain to a computer, the types of implants that are being used today (known as ‘bio-hacking’) and the questions this raises for the security of data and people. Readers of Risk UK should note that the first morning of conference features a particularly interesting session on designing credible terrorism threat scenarios to inform business continuity exercises. An informative presentation from Richard Bond (senior consultant at Arup) will address techniques delegates could apply to monitor changes in the terrorism threat to their organisations. Further, delegates will learn how the outputs from such targeted activity can be used to inform the design of credible threat scenarios that underpin exercises intended to validate business’ ongoing continuity plans. 12 www.risk-uk.com
News Special: NAHS Annual Conference and Awards 2017 Making Sure Security’s in Good Health The NAHS was formed back in 1994 as a notfor-profit professional organisation in the UK. In essence, it exists to support and enable healthcare provision through the delivery of professional security, ultimately enhancing the healthcare environment. As a stakeholder in healthcare security, the NAHS supports NHS Protect as the latter continually develops the strategic direction and development of NHS healthcare security. This is duly reflected in NAHS membership of NHSP Working Groups as a key stakeholder. One of the NAHS’ key roles is to promote education and the professional development of healthcare security practitioners. Nowhere is this better illustrated than by the organisation’s Annual Conference.

Brian Sims previews the organisation’s Annual Conference and Awards 2017 many years in his teens and early 20s as a door supervisor working in the North West region. At the NAHS Conference, Melia will be delivering a thought-provoking discourse on ‘Reasonable Force – The Taboos’.
