The UK's premier event dedicated to prison staff, custodial operations, and offender management
Prison Expo, taking place on 22–23 June 2027 at Excel London as part of Public Protection Week, has been created to bring together the professionals, organisations and solution providers responsible for delivering safe, secure and effective custodial environments across the UK.
As prisons face growing challenges around organised crime, violence reduction, rehabilitation, technology and workforce pressures, the need for collaboration, innovation and knowledge sharing has never been greater.
The event will provide a dedicated platform for the custodial and wider justice community to exchange expertise, explore practical solutions and build relationships that support safer prison environments and better outcomes.
