As organisations face an increasingly complex landscape of security threats, fire risks and workplace safety challenges, opportunities to engage with trusted suppliers and industry peers have never been more valuable. Taking place on 19th and 20th October 2026 at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow, the Total Security Summit, incorporating the Fire Prevention & Safety Summit, will bring together senior decision-makers and leading solution providers for two days of pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, networking opportunities and expert-led seminars.
The co-location of the two events reflects a growing recognition that security, fire prevention and safety are increasingly interconnected disciplines. Organisations today are expected to protect people, assets, operations and infrastructure while navigating evolving risks, regulatory responsibilities and operational pressures. By bringing together professionals from across these sectors, the Summit provides a unique environment in which to explore integrated solutions, share best practice and discuss the challenges shaping the future of organisational resilience.
Now in its 28th year, the Total Security Summit has established itself as one of the UK’s leading hosted events for security professionals. Built around a programme of mutually matched one-to-one meetings, the event enables delegates to engage directly with suppliers whose products and services align with their specific projects and business requirements. More than 1,280 meetings are facilitated at each event, creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration and business growth. Organisers report that 72% of participating companies secure business as a result of attending, underlining the effectiveness of the format.
Unlike traditional trade shows, the Summit is designed to maximise every interaction. Delegates attend with active procurement requirements, while suppliers benefit from scheduled meetings with senior professionals responsible for security, risk, compliance, facilities management and business continuity. The result is a highly focused environment where time is spent discussing genuine solutions rather than seeking out potential opportunities.
Alongside the meetings programme, attendees will have access to a series of thought-provoking seminar sessions examining some of the most pressing issues facing today’s security, fire and safety professionals. Opening the programme is“GRC is Dead, Long Live GRC – Evolving from Tick-box to True Resilience”, a challenging discussion around the future of governance, risk and compliance, encouraging organisations to move beyond traditional compliance-driven approaches and towards genuine operational resilience.
Further sessions include“The Future of Retail Crime Control: Data-driven and Intelligence-led”, presented by Professor Emmeline Taylor, which explores how organisations can apply intelligence-led approaches to tackle increasingly sophisticated criminal activity. Delegates will also hear from former SO15 Commander Dominic Murphy, whose presentation,“Beyond Terrorism: Terrorism and State Threats in the UK”, examines the realities of the current threat landscape through operational insights and real-world case studies.
The Fire Prevention & Safety Summit adds further depth to the seminar programme with sessions including“From Prevention to Protection: Navigating Fire and Safety Protocols”, offering valuable guidance on fire prevention and workplace safety strategies. Additional sessions such as“How Can the Role of an Independent Security Consultant Support Clients?” and“The Role of Cyber Threat Intelligence in Proactive Defence” will provide attendees with practical insight into strengthening resilience through specialist expertise, strategic planning and intelligence-led decision-making.
Networking remains a key component of the event experience. Beyond scheduled meetings and seminar sessions, delegates and suppliers will have the opportunity to connect during hosted meals, refreshment breaks, evening receptions and informal networking activities. These interactions often lead to valuable partnerships, knowledge-sharing opportunities and long-term business relationships that continue well beyond the event itself.
The audience includes Security Directors, Heads of Security, Chief Security Officers, Loss Prevention professionals, Risk and Compliance leaders, Facilities Directors and other senior decision-makers from organisations across the UK and Europe. With all delegates actively seeking new products, services and solutions, the Summit continues to provide a highly productive platform for both buyers and suppliers.
As businesses continue to prioritise resilience in the face of evolving threats and operational challenges, the Total Security Summit and Fire Prevention & Safety Summit offer an ideal opportunity to discover innovative solutions, gain valuable industry insight and forge meaningful connections. For professionals across the security, fire and safety sectors, it remains one of the most important dates in the industry calendar this autumn.
