The conference series which was introduced in 2005 is aimed at identifying security problems affecting Africa and her people, discuss these problems and proffer actionable solutions. We identify the need to draw from the wealth of experience of security decision makers and professionals, both within and outside the continent to facilitate the conference, making it an opportunity for new discoveries to the attendees. 

Initiated and inaugurated in 2004, with the aim to recognise, appreciate, encourage and celebrate individuals, governments, agencies, brands and companies who have excelled in security administration, practice and governance in Africa. It has remained a truly credible and glamorous international event.
