IFSEC latest

by Mark Rowe

The organisers of IFSEC International, UBM Live, report IFSEC 2015 is in demand with 92 per cent of the floor plan already sold out. Sign-ups and new exhibitors include DELL, Mitsubishi Electric, Dorma UK, Capita IT Services, Hanbang Technology, Commax and DVTEL.

With a 29 per cent increase in end user and international visitors in 2014, UBM say they are developing an even broader international attendance for 2015. Feedback demonstrated that 74 per cent of the audience recognised IFSEC as the most prestigious worldwide event in the security industry and to support this, the international pavilions will welcome a Spanish pavilion for the first time. Declared by exhibitors as the “biggest security show in Europe”, business generated per exhibitor reached £362,000 which hit a year on year increase of more that £200,000.

In 2015, IFSEC will be united with FIREX International. As the security and fire industries continue to integrate, the need has been recognised for these two shows to be united side by side and visitors will be able to have a more joined up events experience, say organisers.

Gerry Dunphy, Event Director for IFSEC & FIREX International said: “We’re hugely excited for the shows in 2015 already. We have taken on board all of the customer feedback and introduced features on the show floor in response to this. Incorporating FIREX alongside is a big asset to visitors who manage systems integration of intelligent buildings and we will be releasing more detail on the cross over features shortly, so keep an eye out!”

New features for 2015 include the Innovation Zone, which will showcase the latest products to market, responding to demand from visitors to see future technology and trends on the show floor.

Safe Cities will also be a central hub within IFSEC on urban security, civil welfare and disaster management. Safe Cities at IFSEC International will demonstrate how traditional and new security solutions can be interconnected, interoperable and future-proofed to play a vital role in security architectures.

Security & Fire Installer Live with live demos and testing of kit is going to be back in 2015 after its launch in 2014. Business advisers will be on hand to give guidance on methods for company expansion, as well as giving the opportunity to try products before purchasing.

The IFSEC & FIREX Global Meetings Programme will be back. More than 490 tailor-made meetings were set up. Isabel Tinoco, Business Development Specialist, fortem, said: “The Global Meetings service has been an essential tool for the success we had at IFSEC International 2014. Thanks to this service, we were able to better prepare our participation as well as to better target and invite key people to our booth. The quality of Global Meetings service as well as the quality of contacts is much appreciated it really saves a lot of time and effort. This service made an important difference on the success at IFSEC International 2014 for us and we cannot wait to make use of it again for next year´s show.”
