Live event tastemakers, delegates and industry observers gathered at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London last month to attend the 38th edition of the renowned International Live Music Conference (ILMC).

Showsec is proud to have been the Silver Sponsor of this year’s edition; a tradition we have upheld for the last 22 years, providing security for the entirety of the conference duration and bringing together leading figures from across the global live events industry. The three-day conference kicked off with a dynamic open forum, exploring the most pressing topics shaping live music worldwide. Over 1,700 delegates and 200 speakers across 65 countries took part in various sessions and conversations at the conference.

For years, Showsec has been responsible for providing exclusive security services to the conference, ensuring that eligible participants and attendees have ease of access and feel safe around the venue. Our sponsorship involves weeks of planning in advance with the venue security team, the ILMC team and other stakeholders to prepare and integrate security staffing and access control at various entry and exit points within the venue.

Speaking on the capacity of managing such an event, Marcin Szyperski, Area Manager for Showsec in London, said;

“Being the exclusive security providers means we always provide the best staff to cater for thousands of attendees. We have established a good relationship with the event organisers and venue team over the years, which has further improved our involvement with the conference.”

Throughout the week, our team delivered comprehensive security services at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, supporting a packed programme of insightful talks, high-level networking and industry celebrations including the glamorous gala-dinner. With Showsec team members on-site across all three days, we were delighted to help ensure a safe, seamless and successful event for everyone involved.
