Conflict & Emerging Risks: How they are Shaping the Future of Security Technology

The Association of Security Consultants flagship event, ConSeC 2025, is set to be a defining moment in the conversation around conflict, emerging risks, and the future of security technology. As global security dynamics evolve at an unprecedented pace, understanding how these changes drive technological innovation and reshape risk strategies has never been more critical.

This year, ConSeC will break new ground, not just in thought leadership but in location—it will be the first time the conference is hosted outside London, welcoming delegates to the prestigious Wellcome Foundation’s Hinxton Hall Conference Centre near Cambridge, an iconic venue known for fostering advanced research and thought-provoking discussion.

ConSeC 2025 is a gathering of minds across the security sector—industry professionals, consultants, systems integrators, manufacturers and academic institutions, all coming together to explore the pressing challenges that define modern security landscapes. From geopolitical instability and technological disruption to the latest advancements in surveillance, access control, AI-driven threat detection, and cyber resilience, the event will provide deep insights into how security professionals must adapt, innovate, and lead in this new era.

A key highlight of this year’s event is the inaugural dedicated academic seminar, conceived to bridge the gap between research and practical application. The conference will also feature a professional development area where leading universities and training providers will exhibit, enabling visitors to engage in discussions on ongoing learning initiatives. Furthermore, for those seeking career guidance or staff recruitment, SSR Personnel will be available to provide assistance.  

The academic seminar, titled “FESS (Fire, Emergency & Security Systems): Defining Competency, Emerging Threats, High Security, and Learning,” will provide an in-depth exploration of the field of FESS. The seminar will commence with speakers delving into the competency schemes, benefits, and implications for those who fail to take proactive measures. Subsequently, it will transition into a series of lectures addressing various methods of entry to properties that should be incorporated into security designs, emerging technologies that pose a threat to security systems, and discussions relating to high security applications. The seminar will conclude with subject matter experts from leading universities presenting topics that should be considered in the design process for security systems. For individuals involved in the supply, design, or installation of security systems, this event will be an invaluable opportunity, marking a significant milestone in the industry.

Whether you are studying security, training for career advancement, or leading transformational projects within the industry, ConSeC 2025 offers unparalleled opportunities to engage with cutting-edge insights, network with influential professionals, and contribute to shaping the future of security technology. As threats grow more sophisticated and challenges become more interconnected, ConSeC 2025 promises to be an essential forum for anyone invested in security consultancy, risk mitigation, and the application of advanced technology to real-world problems.
