A thing of beauty

The Transport Security Forum, our first conference of 2007, is looking like a little beauty, even if I do say so myself. It's a sad fact that the region's transport infrastructure has seen a rise in security risks - and an annual forum for senior transport operators and public safety officials has clearly been something that has gone down well with our speakers (see below), and amongst our government delegates. The event is in March, but we already have 25 registered delegates ... so I can't wait to hear what our speakers have to say.

Our confirmed speakers:

• Tarique Ghaffur, Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police, United Kingdom
