Creating safe and welcoming retail destinations remains a critical focus for QIC Real Estate. Last week Stephen Dewaele joined experts in venue and event management at marcus evans Group's Public Venue Safety and Security Conference in Sydney. Against a backdrop of heightened industry awareness, the forum emphasised the importance of continuous innovation in threat detection and preparedness. Contributing to a panel discussion on evolving security frameworks, Dewaele shared insights about how major retail precincts can maintain their position as dynamic social hubs while implementing sophisticated safety measures. He commented: "By participating in industry forums like this and continuously enhancing our security protocols, we ensure our centres remain places where communities can gather and connect with confidence. It's about finding the right balance between creating welcoming spaces and maintaining world-class safety standards." The three-day conference brought together security experts, crowd management consultants and commercial real estate operators to discuss discuss emerging security technologies, real-time monitoring systems, and design approaches that balance safety with customer experience. #PublicVenueSafetySecurity #CommunitySpace #RetailRealEstate
