“Event Sector CTBIE was established to reflect our shared responsibility as an industry to bring people together safely. This multi-association commitment plays a key role as a central channel for the timely sharing of consistent counter-terrorism information, evolving legislation, guidance, and security updates for the events industry. We hope to encourage additional association engagement and we look forward to more associations joining the group.”

Henry Havis, Group Security Director, The NEC Group

Currently, Event Sector CTBIE has the support of eight key organisations in the UK live event industry including:

AEV, Association of Event Organisers (AEO), Event Suppliers and Services Association (ESSA), Association of Independent Festivals (AIF), Association of Festival Organisers (AFO), National Arenas Association (NAA), NOEA (National Outdoor Events Association), UK Wedding Association and The UK Crowd Management Association (UKCMA).

"The formation of Event Sector CTBIE consolidates and strengthens our industry's response to the risk of terror attacks and other malicious risks. I'm proud that the AEV has been the driving force behind this important initiative. Now the UK events industry has an over-arching security and counter-terror information framework providing a solid foundation for safer, more secure events now and in the future."

Rachel Parker, CEO, AEV

 Who is it for?

Membership of this group is made up of fifteen senior representatives from events industry associations.

Event Sector CTBIE will meet quarterly, one month after its representative attends the latest Counter Terrorism Business Information Exchange (CTBIE) meeting, allowing it to evaluate how the latest information affects the events industry and provide specific advice and warnings to all sectors, regions and events types.
