Jeudi de la Sécurité

Milipol Paris and S&D Magazine present the "Security Thursday," the must-attend event for security decision-makers.

The event, free for invited participants, aims to foster debates throughout the year on major themes to shape the future of the security sector. Conferences and roundtable discussions will be hosted by Mélanie Bénard-Crozat, Editor-in-Chief of S&D Magazine. They will bring together security experts and around a hundred decision-makers from the private and public sectors (Security/Safety Directors, Economic Intelligence Managers, High Officials from the Ministry of the Interior, CEOs of large industrial groups, etc.) to exchange views on sector challenges. The discussions will be followed by a cocktail reception to facilitate networking.

The security stakes are unprecedented. Between July 26 and September 8, France will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 13.5 million spectators, 15,000 athletes and 50,000 volunteers are expected at 37 Olympic venues, including one 15,700 km from Paris. For 27 days, France, and Paris in particular, will be at the center of all the attention, but also of all the threats. To meet these challenges, an unprecedented security plan has been put in place, combining human, technical and technological resources, in a mobilization of resources and means commensurate with the scale of the event.

• What lessons can be drawn from the collective implementation of this security plan?
• What were the challenges involved and what obstacles have been encountered during this implementation?
• What about the organization and cooperation between all stakeholders?
• What lessons can be learned to improve, reinforce and adapt the security arrangements for major events, particularly the upcoming Olympic events in Milan, Los Angeles, Dakar...
• What will be the legacy of these Games for companies and security forces? And how can the legacy of the Games and its collective and virtuous approach be anchored?
