4. PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP A
08.30 - 13.00 | 25th February 2014 | Sheraton Sofia Hotel Balkan, Sofia, Bulgaria
Overview of workshop:
This Workshop brings together expert speakers to examine how
practitioners can share intelligence securely and efficiently across
National and International boundaries. Against a background of a
rapidly developing intelligence gathering culture and an increasing
number of Government, and Non-Government Agencies, involved in
Intelligence gathering the need to share intelligence in order to
achieve results is clear. Furthermore the ability of criminals and terrorists
to exploit intelligence makes this now the ideal time to review your
intelligence sharing protocols.
Benefits of attending:
• Get expert guidance and practical advice from leading
practitioners in this rapidly expanding discipline
• Share best practice on how to develop intelligence sharing in
yours, and other, Agencies
• Learn how interoperability considerations affect intelligence
sharing projects
• Take essential advice on how to establish trust and
collaboration between other Agencies and build robust
intelligence sharing frameworks
• Learn how to improve intelligence sharing security whilst
creating comprehensive shared networks
