Members of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) are looking forward to showcasing the very latest in innovative security technology to an impressive audience of international buyers and specifiers, as IFSEC International makes its return to London in just a week’s time (17th – 19th June).
The show’s relocation to London’s ExCeL has enabled exhibition organisers, UBM Live, to rejuvenate the show’s format, with the introduction of new features and opportunities for networking both during the show and after hours. Learning, education and training still form a key element of the event’s format, with many BSIA spokespeople scheduled to take part in keynote sessions on IFSEC’s Centre Stage.
Meanwhile, several members of the BSIA’s Lone Worker section will be showcasing the latest safety devices and smartphone apps at the Safety and Health Expo, which runs alongside IFSEC International as part of UBM’s wider Protection and Management Series, which offers free entry to all IFSEC ticket-holders.
“There’s certainly a buzz of excitement in the air as we count down to IFSEC’s return to London,” comments James Kelly, Chief Executive of the BSIA, the trade body representing the UK’s private security industry. “With an impressive number of delegates from across the security buying chain already pre-registered to attend, the BSIA and its members are looking forward to a busy few days.”
UBM Live’s Group Marketing Manager, Ruth Galpine, confirms the positive outlook for 2014’s event: “Pre-registration for IFSEC is looking incredibly healthy, with current figures tracking at 45% up year on year. This is due to the re-location to London, opening the event up to end-users and international visitors, both of which we’ve seen a huge increase in, plus all of the new visitor features, education and customer experience initiatives that organisers UBM have put in place for this year.”
