Records were broken at the recent Counter Terror Expo (CTX) exhibition and conference. Held at Olympia London on April 21 and 22, CTX attracted VIP visitors from over 30 countries, a 30% increase on the 2014 show.
The World Terror Congress, one of the high profile conference streams staged at CTX, made the news around the world, as keynote speakers including Mark Rowley, Head of Specialist Operations and Assistant Commissioner, Metropolitan Police and Jamie Shea, NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges, warned about new terrorist threats.

On the exhibition floor, a record number of exhibitors rebooked for the next event in 2016, delighted with the numbers of quality visitors coming onto their stands.
Tim Porter, Managing Director, Clarion Defence & Security, said “The evolution of the show's title is in response to its unique position. The event now brings together the broad spectrum of stakeholders concerned with security and countering terrorism in both the public and private sectors.
“The big increase we have seen in overseas visitors from the paramilitary and law enforcement sectors, as well as security, is a particularly important development.”
