Security in Government (SIG) 2007 Conference and Trade Exhibition

Conference aim and theme

The annual Security in Government (SIG) 2007 Conference and Trade Exhibition is the major security event for the Australian Government’s security practitioners. 

Hosted by the Protective Security Coordination Centre, a Division of the Attorney-General’s Department, the twentieth Security in Government Conference will be held at Canberra’s National Convention Centre from 5 to 7 December 2007.

This year’s theme is the Future of Security. The national security environment has changed dramatically since the inaugural SIG in 1987. For the twentieth anniversary of SIG it is timely to look ahead.

With emerging threats of pandemics and bioterrorism, WMD proliferation and cyber-crime, and with environmental issues and natural disasters, all governments and the private sector must continue to develop effective and coordinated protective security arrangements.

This year’s conference will examine these issues and highlight the need to harness science, engineering and technology capabilities to better deal with this evolving security landscape and safeguard Australians and Australian interests.

In its twentieth year, SIG continues to be the largest conference of its type in Australia. SIG 2007 will include an array of international and national speakers, a number of panel discussions, and a trade exhibition that will deliver the latest developments in policy and technology in the protective security environment.

  • Senior executives responsible for managing security in Australian Government agencies.
