Governance
Thirteen serving and former police leaders from nine countries who set the Summit’s agenda, approve the programme and oversee the Awards.
A global mandate
The Board is the Summit’s editorial authority. It exists so the programme is set by people who have done the job, not by an events team.
Which 14 subjects the Summit covers each year, and which emerging threats earn a track of their own.
Who speaks, what evidence a session must present, and which submissions make the agenda.
Category definitions, judging criteria and the integrity of the shortlisting process.
