About this event... 

Join us at our Members Summer Social, a special gathering to celebrate our community and soak up the summer vibes 🔆

Reconnect with fellow members, meet new faces, and enjoy refreshing drinks and seasonal bites in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Whether you are a new member, long-standing member, or have recently applied to join, this is the perfect opportunity to unwind, connect, and grow your professional network 🍸

This year’s Summer Social is also an opportunity to help shape the future of the security profession.

During the afternoon, our CEO, Sarah Austerberry CSyP FSyI, will provide an update on The Security Institute’s latest NextGen and educational partnership initiatives, highlighting the work taking place to support and develop emerging talent entering the profession.

We are delighted to be welcoming a group of student members and emerging professionals to the event, creating an opportunity for lively conversation, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections across all stages of the profession.

We would particularly encourage our experienced members to attend, share their insight and experiences, and help break down barriers for those starting their professional journey. Whether discussing career pathways, professional development, industry challenges, or simply making new contacts, the afternoon is designed to bring people together and strengthen our professional community.
