IFSEC - World's largest annual security event 2010

Posted Tuesday 9th February, 2010

IFSEC, the world's largest annual security event, returns from 10 - 13 May 2010 to the NEC Birmingham. The event will provide security installers, manufacturers, distributors, IT integrators, end-users and consultants with a platform to keep up to date with the ever-changing developments of the global security industry.

Following the hugely successful 2009 event where more than 600 of the world's leading companies exhibited and more than 25,000 security professionals attended, IFSEC consolidated its position as the must-attend event for the international security industry.

James Blue, Director of Fire & Security at UBM Live, organisers of IFSEC, said: -Given the economic conditions in the last couple of years, our aim for IFSEC 2009 was to put the feel-good factor back into our visitors and exhibitors and to reinvigorate the international security industry. Feedback we have received confirms that we achieved our target and we are extremely excited to further develop this in 2010. IFSEC remains the world's largest annual security event for a reason we work with the industry all year round to develop the programme and to ensure we are providing our visitors with everything they need.

IFSEC 2010 will expand on its recent successes with its extensive exhibition, unparalleled educational content and exciting features.

Visitors to IFSEC 2010 will be able to explore the latest security products and services available both in the UK and worldwide. The extensive exhibition will be organised into the following categories:

Integrated Security: IP & Network Solutions
Access Control
CCTV
Intruder Alarms
Counter Terror & Physical Security
Security Solutions and Fire Solutions.

Axis, Dallmeier, Genie CCTV, HIK Vision, IndigoVision, JVC, Norbain, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and Tyco are amongst those exhibiting. Within the exhibition there will be a number of international pavilions in which visitors may seek the latest products and services from all over the globe. China, Taiwan, Korea, France, Italy, Belgium and the USA are just some of the countries with dedicated pavilions. As the annual meeting place for security professionals worldwide, there will also be vast networking opportunities for those that attend.

Within the exhibition, the new Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) Red Book Pavilion will house seminars and presentations based on all aspects of LPCB third party approvals, training schemes and research relating to physical security. The free-of-charge educational programme will be led by industry experts from the LPCB and dedicated staff will be on hand to answer any questions.

Following the resounding success that was last year's IFSEC Conference, this year's conference promises to be another three days of carefully researched high-level content delivered by some of the most senior players in the industry. The conference forms part of the educational content available at the IFSEC Exhibition and its modular format will allow delegates to tailor their conference experience by choosing the modules that are most relevant to them. This year's agenda takes a fresh look at some key issues, including counter terror strategy, protecting critical national infrastructure, preparing for 2012, corporate security issues, security guarding and the very latest updates on CCTV and other technologies. The focus for 2010 will be looking at deriving the most value from security solutions and managing resources as efficiently as possible in today's cost-conscious climate. The conference takes place from 10-12 May at the NEC in Birmingham as part of the IFSEC exhibition, and conference places can be purchased via the IFSEC website.

Finally, the IFSEC Security Industry Awards, organised in association with the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), returns to acknowledge the people, products and technological advancements that have played a big part in the security industry over the past year.

IFSEC 2010 will be co-located with Safety & Health Expo and The Facilities Show at the NEC Birmingham from 10-13 May 2010.
