London, UK – October 15, 2026 — Yesterday, the International Supply Chain Protection Organization (ISCPO) hosted its annual London Summit, bringing together industry leaders, risk executives, law enforcement officials, and security professionals for a vital day of collaboration, threat analysis, and strategic networking.
The event focused directly on the evolving landscape of freight crime, supply chain resilience, and cross-border intelligence sharing with law enforcement agencies across the UK & EU.
Byron Smith CFI, LPC, President & Chairman of the ISCPO, remarked on the event’s success. “Yesterday’s London Summit underscored a crucial reality in modern logistics: combatting freight crime requires an integrated, intelligence-led response across industry lines and borders. Bringing together supply chain security leadership, law enforcement and global transport specialists demonstrated our collective resolve to collaborate and stay ahead of sophisticated cargo theft strategies.”
The ISCPO extends its sincere gratitude to Verkada, Mark Coates and Josie Menon for their invaluable partnership in hosting this premier event. Their support for the last three years has been crucial in bringing together this group of industry leaders to address and advance supply chain security.
