Public Protection Week, organised by What Else Events, is to launch at Excel London in 2027 and designed to unite the UK’s emergency services, security, forensic and justice sectors.
What Else Events founder Tim Else says the move is part of his company’s growth strategy to evolve and expand the current portfolio of events.
Taking place 22–23 June 2027, the new event brings together existing leading brands including The Blue Light Show, Counter Terror Expo, Forensics Europe Expo (FEE) and the newly launched Prison Expo, all into one.
Safety, Health & Wellbeing Live will also be relocated to Excel at the same time for its sixth edition, marking a milestone in the continued growth of that show.
Organisers say the move to Excel is “central to their vision”, with the venue providing the “scale and infrastructure to expand exhibitors, enhance live demonstrations and increase visitor capacity”. Under an event strapline of Protect. Prevent. Respond, What Else Events insists this not another co-located event, but rather the UK’s first truly integrated public protection platform, signalling a shift from siloed capability to a connected model built around the full operational lifecycle.
The launch comes at a time of evolving legislation such as Martyn’s Law, increased focus on interoperability, and growing demands for resilience.
Tim Else added: “The organisations responsible for protecting the public do not operate in silos. Yet the events serving them largely still do. Public Protection Week has been created to reflect the reality of modern public protection, bringing together prevention, preparedness, response and investigation within a single environment.”
Free to attend, Public Protection Week is expected to attract professionals from across emergency services, government, security, forensics and justice, alongside international delegations.
The launch news come following Excel’s announcement of a record-year for new business at the venue, with more than 23 new and relocated events being hosted.
