Leading the Future of Operations
Join us at Intersec 2026's Control Room Innovation Theatre, where control rooms and operations centres take centre stage as the nerve hubs of tomorrow’s safety and security landscape. This inspiring forum brings together visionary operational leaders and solution provides from across the security, safety, and operations domains to share pioneering insights. The focus is future-readiness and the pivotal role of control rooms in a rapidly evolving safety and security landscape.
Across a day of powerful sessions, we’ll explore four transformational themes:
- Cognitive Control Rooms – Discover how data-driven, AI-supported control rooms transform vast data streams into intelligent action, enabling faster, smarter decisions when it matters most.
- Integrated Command Centre Operations – Explore the power of breaking silos. Unified command centres span multiple sectors and operations, fostering seamless coordination and agile, synchronised responses to complex challenges.
- Operator Wellbeing – Learn why empowering the human element leads to stronger teams and better outcomes. From reducing stress to enhancing training, see how prioritising operator wellness drives performance in high-pressure environments.
- Beyond Ergonomics – Go deeper into human factors — the missing thread. Beyond just ergonomic consoles, uncover the critical role of cognitive design, user experience, and culture in creating control rooms that truly elevate human performance.
This thought leadership platform is more than a conference track — it’s a call to action for leaders eager to stay ahead of the curve. Attendees will gain cross-industry perspectives, spark new ideas, and network with fellow visionaries.
