RUSI is running a 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Security Conference on January 25, in London….
With the world’s eyes on London, next summer’s Olympics will represent an unprecedented challenge for the UK’s resilience and management capabilities. RUSI’s Olympic and Paralympic Security Conference will say organisers offer an opportunity to engage with key decision-makers and stakeholders from the UK’s security community.
