The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) is delighted to be working in collaboration once again with the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) to deliver the fifth UK OSPAs Thought Leadership Summit on Thursday 23rd February 2023 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

The Thought Leadership Summit provides a unique platform for security providers and industry stakeholders to gather to discuss and debate topical issues affecting the UK security sector, taking the form of panel sessions and presentations from leading industry figures.

Programme announcement 

As in previous years, senior leaders from UK security organisations will be expected to attend this compelling, thought-provoking event. The full programme will be announced in the new year, but in the meantime, security organisations and stakeholders are encouraged to save the date. 

The programme will be announced soon, but security organisations are encouraged to save the date

Commenting on the successful series of Thought Leadership Summits, Richard Jenkins, NSI Chief Executive said “We are proud to once again be working with the OSPAs to deliver the 2023 Thought Leadership Summit enabling key players of the industry to come together and contribute to topical discussions about subjects that matter most to the sector."

Addressing security challenges 

No other event provides such a platform and we look forward to welcoming those forward-thinking leaders for whom this is an established not-to-be-missed date in the calendar and those who will be joining for the first time on 23 February 2023."

Professor Martin Gill said “We are excited to be tackling some of the pressing issues of our time, including the challenges to purchasing good security; the barriers to developing security sector capabilities; we have a question-and-answer session with a former offender involved in terrorist activities; as well as our usual ‘what the bosses say’ feature. And these are just some reasons to be there. This is an event not to be missed.
