International Security Conference

The International Security Careers Conference brings together students, academics and professionals to explore the changing international security landscape and the career opportunities available across the sector.

Hosted by the Westminster Politics Society in partnership with 100Corp and the Bloomsbury Intelligence & Security Institute (BISI), the conference aims to bridge the gap between academic study and professional practice. Students will hear directly from professionals working across international security, intelligence, defence, government policy, public affairs and geopolitical risk.

Throughout the conference, attendees will take part in expert-led discussions, interactive workshops, a careers panel and a national security crisis simulation. Sessions will explore contemporary challenges, including modern conflict, geopolitical competition, disinformation, cyber threats, emerging technologies and the protection of critical infrastructure.

The conference will also provide dedicated opportunities for networking with speakers and industry professionals, allowing students to ask questions about different career pathways, develop professional connections, and gain practical insights into working in the security and policy sectors.

Whether you are already considering a career in international security or want to understand the major challenges shaping global affairs today, the conference offers an opportunity to learn, participate, and connect with professionals working in the field.
