The 2026 event featured the UK's most authoritative speakers
NEW: Counter Terror Expo will relaunch in 2027
The UK’s event for counter terrorism, protective security and threat mitigation
Counter Terror Expo brings together the organisations responsible for protecting people, places and critical national infrastructure from terrorism and evolving security threats.
As security threats continue to evolve, organisations are placing greater emphasis on preparedness, resilience and protective security. Counter Terror Expo provides a platform to share expertise, lessons learned, explore emerging technologies and strengthen collaboration across the security, emergency services and custodial communities.
The Critical Response Theatre in partnership with British APCO
Dedicated training on public safety technology, IT and communications
The Critical Response Theatre ran in partnership with British APCO, exploring the entire emergency response journey, from the initial call for help, through triage and mobilisation, to supporting frontline responders with the information, tools, and systems they rely on every day. This supports stronger emergency services collaboration across police, fire and rescue, ambulance and Coast Guard teams.

JESIP in action
In 2026 we partnered with JESIP, the thread that runs through all planning, incident response, and recovery in the emergency services. Their models and principles have become the gold standard for interoperability across the UK's emergency services.
This partnership included sessions from Matt England, The Head of JESIP, for senior leaders and frontline professionals. Plus, exciting live demonstrations every day of the show.

The contemporary approach to upskilling YOU and your frontline teams
A practical and unfiltered look at real incidents
Training time is precious , which is why the 2026 emergency services conference programme was designed to go far beyond theory or “ideal world” scenarios. At The Blue Light Show, we took a practical, unfiltered look at real incidents: what worked, what failed, and what needs to change.
Teams were able to walk through challenges, gaining insights they can apply immediately to improve performance, strengthen culture, and enhance organisational resilience.
Our world-class education programme is designed to help you and your whole team:
-
Learn from real incidents, not sanitised case studies, but honest breakdowns of what went well and what went wrong.
-
Strengthen cross-agency collaboration with sessions built around joint learning, shared challenges and future interoperability.
-
Improve decision-making under pressure through immersive conversations, hands-on zones and facilitated cross-rank debate.
-
Address cultural and organisational challenges head-on, helping teams navigate the realities of modern emergency service work.
-
Return to their organisation with clear, actionable improvements their leaders can see and measure.
This is not theoretical learning, it’s practical, highly relevant and shaped by the people who do the job every day.
The Blue Light Show is where senior leaders and frontline teams come together to evolve, strengthen expertise and build a more resilient future.
Officially the UK’s Multi-Award-Winning Blue Light Event
In 2025 The Blue Light show was recognised as the best in the industry,
picking up three major awards at the Exhibition News Indy Awards:
