From Wednesday 20 to Friday 22 November 2024, Bletchley Park hosted the first-ever National Intelligence History Conference (NIHC) alongside GCHQ, supported by the Oxford Intelligence Group (OIG).

Over the three days, the sold-out academic conference brought together over 250 delegates from around the world to discuss a wide range of topics from the 17th century to today, all on the theme of ‘People in Intelligence’.

Topics presented at the NIHC included the history of intelligence organisations, personal stories, biographies, cryptography and cryptanalysis throughout history, representations of intelligence in popular culture, human intelligence, and espionage.

After the conference was opened by Anne Keast-Butler, the Director of GCHQ., those attending enjoyed panel discussions, plenary lectures, poster displays, and time to network.

Iain Standen CEO of the Bletchley Park Trust said, “The Trust was proud to deliver the first-ever National Intelligence History Conference in conjunction with our partners at GCHQ and ably supported by the Oxford Intelligence Group.  Gathered here in the historic setting of Bletchley Park for this event were a wide-ranging group of academics, historians, members of the public and intelligence practitioners to discuss, and debate intelligence practices. It was a genuine pleasure to welcome so many people here over the course of the three days.  This was a fantastic opportunity for us to bring together and host over 250 delegates discussing how intelligence practices have changed over time and sharing insights that teach us valuable lessons for both today and the future.”

Among the speakers for the conference were Dr John Fox, Historian of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, Dr Helen Fry, Claire Mulley, and Dr David Kenyon, author and Bletchley Park’s Research Historian.

The conference organisers are looking forward to confirming dates for the next conference.
