We are delighted to be bringing Safer Crowds, Safer Venues to Brighton for its fourth edition.

In just three years, the UKCMA conference has established itself as one of the must-attend events for the industry, and we’re looking forward to making 2027 our biggest and most engaging event yet.

A small reminder of what to expect…

HEADLINE PARTNERS

We’re thrilled to announce a new three-year partnership with Pink Bows and the Showstop Procedure as the headline sponsor of our annual conference. Their generous support provides valuable long-term funding, giving us the stability and confidence to continue developing the conference and delivering an engaging programme for delegates over the next three years.

This partnership will enable us to continue bringing together professionals from across the sector to share good practice, exchange knowledge and experiences, and explore the latest developments and challenges facing our industry. We’re incredibly grateful to Pink Bows and the Showstop Procedure for their commitment and support, and we look forward to working together to make each year’s conference bigger, better and even more impactful.

HEADLINE SPEAKERS

We’re delighted to confirm that Assistant Chief Constable Tony Rowlinson and Mike Cunningham, Chair of the SIA, will be joining us as speakers.

The full programme will be announced later this year, but we’re pleased to share a preview of some of the key topics that will be covered:

  • Audience and artist advocacy
  • Politics & policing at festivals & sports
  • Cyber terrorism – the new threat
  • The psychology of crowds
  • Decision-making under pressure
  • Martyn’s Law

 

ACCOMMODATION & SOCIAL EVENTS

We are delighted to be working alongside Visit Brighton this year and have partnered with the Maldron Hotel Brighton as our official accommodation provider. You can book at the conference rate for a two-night stay on the delegate booking form.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to network and socialise across the two days, with a UKCMA members event on Monday 8th March at Shelter Hall and the full conference social on Tuesday 9th March at the Palm Court on Brighton Pier – so delegates can get the full Brighton experience!
