Martyn's Law

Former SO15 Counter Terrorism Commander delivers a frontline perspective on the UK’s current terrorism threat landscape, with a sharp focus on its relevance to public venues. Drawing on real-world experience, this session explores how the threat is evolving—from the rise of lone-actor terrorism to shifting attack methods and target selection. It will examine why publicly accessible spaces remain a persistent focus, how intent and capability are changing, and what this means for venues operating in today’s risk environment.
