TKHTH 2015 - 6th annual 'Tackling Kidnapping, Hostage Taking and Hijacking’ conference

Quaynote’s 6th annual ‘Tackling Kidnapping, Hostage Taking and Hijacking’ conference aims to update delegates on this persistent and ever-changing threat by highlighting the current hotspots, both those publicized and lesser known and discussing how the threat of kidnapping and hijack is evolving in those areas where employees could be most at risk.
What will the Conference Cover?
The conference will identify and assess those criminal gangs and terrorist groups who are operating in each of the hot spots and to demonstrate how effective crisis management strategies and risk assessment can be used to mitigate the effects of these events.
Organisations will learn how to assess their own vulnerability to the risk of kidnapping and learn how to adopt good practices for kidnap avoidance from key thought leaders in this area. The conference will explore the vicious cycle of ransom payouts and the preventative measures that companies should take when considering the personal security of staff working in at risk areas.
Chaired by: Andrew Kain, Founding Chairman, AKE Group
