From first look to full compliance

The Martyn’s Law Conference in 2026 brought hundreds of venue operators and security professionals together for a first look at what compliance really means, making it one of the most popular parts of the event.

Martyn’s Law is coming into force in spring 2027 and next year’s event will go further in bringing those responsible for public protection together.

Hear from those shaping and implementing Martyn's Law

The one-day Martyn’s Law Conference was the first of its kind, bringing together counter terror police, security & venue operators to hear from the experts overseeing the legislation.

This was the first time the initiator, experts on implementation of the legislation, those enforcing and training on Martyn’s Law all shared a stage, just weeks after the legislation was approved.
