Safe Cities Conference

The Safe Cities Conference will be held at the Pullman Melbourne on the Park, VIC on the 22 – 23 August 2016.

Safe Cities is a concept that encompasses security, safety and quality of life for those who live, work, visit, study or play in any physical environment. With focus on the development of resilient cities, designing out crime within urban environments, social investment in our communities and public safety, the conference includes expert speakers within research, design thinking, ethics and cyber security.

The Safe Cities Conference will provide a platform of discussion that began in 2015 for professionals involved with providing safe and secure urban communities. The Conference will include workshops, presentations and forums to share experiences and the challenges of designing, planning and maintaining safe places to live.

The Safe Cities Conference Program will be designed to challenge, demonstrate and encourage discussion on all areas of safety and security within communities. Covering topics that include the four thematic categories from the Safe Cities Index 2015 (Digital Security, Health Security, Infrastructure Safety and Personal Safety), this unique Conference aims to attract a range of professionals that work within the safety and security sector. Collaboration within government, business and the community is crucial to the safety and security within cities.

This event will place an emphasis on providing knowledge that will assist delegates to reduce crime and improve community safety at the grass-roots level in cities, suburbs and regional towns.
