Managing Technology Workshop (Registration Required)
Facilitators: Mike Tennent (Tavcom Training), Philip Edwards (retired Board Director of the Dixon's Group), Phil Boskett CPP, PSP (Chief of Security & Safety, International Criminal Court), Eur.Ing. Jon Laws ( senior tutor and security consultant)

The hectic schedule of the modern executive allows little time to absorb and understand today's rapidly evolving technology. This educational workshop provides them with a rare chance to identify, investigate and manually evaluate equipment and services which could determine the success of their business.This workshop is provided by Tavcom Training. Tavcom Training has no affiliation with any individual manufacturer or supplier, allowing independent presenters to demonstrate and discuss the benefits and limitations of a range of equipment without any bias.

Tavcom's Director of Training Mr Mike Tennent will be joined by senior tutor and security consultant Eur.Ing. Jon Laws and Mr Phil Boskett, CPP, PSP, a long-standing security practitioner with 25 years of policing and security experience -nationally and internationally.
Although essentially a "hands-on" event, Mike Tennent will give an overview of some of the new technologies arriving on the international scene and will review the night trials recently conducted with 14 major manufacturers at the Tavcom test site. Jon Laws will look at megapixel technology, issues surrounding CCTV digital recording and storage and networking limitations. Phil Boskett will use case studies to comment on some of the operational and management issues arising from the preparation for, use, control and governance of physical security systems.
A "Question and Answer" session will be chaired by Mr Philip Edwards, retired Board Director of the Dixon's Group. This will provide the opportunity to question our panel of experts on matters arising from the presentations and workshop activities. Following the workshop, the equipment will be available for Conference delegates to observe and use for the remainder of the evening.
