Sponsor & Exhibitor Opportunities

Invitation

The second conference of the Global Collaboration in Evidence Based Policing returns in 2024 with in-person conferencing over September 2 – 4 in Australia and New Zealand | September 11 -12 in the United Kingdom.

Evidence-Based Policing (EBP) has continued to grow globally since our last conference, ensuring that policing strategy, operations, and tactics are based on what works, according to data, evidence, and research. Rather than being guided by assumptions, tradition, convention, or subjective impressions, EBP combines the existing skills, knowledge, and experience of police with data-led research, crime science, problem-solving and testing to draw out the best  possible insights to support decision making.

This inaugural global conference in 2022 brought together world-leading criminologists, academic thinkers, and police professionals to look at the role that evidence, its legitimacy, and our policing leadership have in everyday policing – shaping “exceptional” policing, the evidence-based way. The 2022 conference was a 24 hour live-broadcast event which enabled over 150,000 police officers and staff access to conference content, with 2,500 joining live online, and another 800 officers and staff attending in person in London and Christchurch – an incredible way to start global conference collaborations!

Partnering with the What Works in Policing for Community Safety & Our People Conference is the most significant opportunity you will have in 2024 to align your brand with peak agencies across the professional policing community, influencing change and delivering value.

The conference will sharply focus on:

• What Works in Managing Demand
• What Works in creating and maintaining Gender Diversity
• What Works in improving the Health and Wellbeing of our people
• What Works in Recruitment and Retention
• What Works in targeting Retail, Youth Crime and Gangs
• What Works in reducing Counter Terrorism Risk
• What Works in targeting Family Violence

These key subthemes will provide delegates with the most up to date and best available data, evidence, and insight into each area. It is anticipated that over 500 delegates will attend these conferences from across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America and around the world. Delegates will represent our various policing agencies, our researchers and representatives from other agencies working in partnership with the police and their agencies to reduce crime and improve community safety.

The Australia New Zealand conference will run September 2 – 4 and the UK conference will run September 11 – 12, with more than 30 hours of world class conference programming between them. In Australia and New Zealand, the third conference day will provide an optional Gender Diversity in Policing Masterclass alongside a Youth Crime and Gangs Symposium. Access to recorded sessions will be available to registered delegates one week after the event via the online portal.

The Australia and New Zealand leg of the conference will be held at KPMG conference facilities in Melbourne CBD, with a range of exciting networking functions scheduled to accompany formal presentations. We will be holding a networking event on the first evening, and a formal conference dinner and awards night at one of Melbourne’s iconic venues, the Long Room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, following day two.

Our sponsorship programme is designed to let you customise your presence for maximised benefit before, during and after the event. Whether your goal is brand recognition, lead generation, orpositioning yourself as a thought leader within the industry, we can tailor a sponsorship package that will help you achieve your objectives, in your region, or globally.

Our team is happy to work with you ahead of going live with this offer online – particularly if you are keen to customise visibility and benefits. Contact is mail@conferencedesign.com.au or phone +61 3 6231 2999.
