Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense / Security Systems.
Swedish term or phrase: säkerhetsting
In a press release for some type of security conference being held in Eskilstuna:

"Sveriges säkerhetsting är en mötesplats arrangerad av Eskilstuna Kommun, Energimyndigheten, Fortifikationsverket, Mälardalens högskola i samverkan med Assa AB."

I am inclined to translate this a "Security Conference", but I am wondering if anyone has any other ideas...

säkerhetsting
security council


Explanation:
I think it's a more permanent set-up than a conference, i.e. "ting" meaning council as in "landsting"

Risk Management Convention


Explanation:
They're all over the place. The thing with this Swedish word is they allude to a Viking tradition

"Safety and Security Exibition" would be better.
