Securex 2016 gets going

September 2015 Editor's Choice, News & Events

Securex, the largest and most comprehensive security and fire exhibition on the African continent, will be held between 24 and 26 May 2016 at the Gallagher Convention Centre. Capitalising on the 5323 industry professionals who visited the 2015 event (representing an increase of almost 12% in attendees over the three-day period), the organisers are pulling out all the stops to provide exhibitors with the definitive platform to interact with a captive audience for the 2016 event.

“Based on the success of a number of new features which we introduced at the last exhibition, we will be repeating the New Products Showcase, the Business Matchmaking Programme, the Fire Hazard Identification Challenge and the InFIRes seminar,” says Joshua Low, Securex event director at Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery.

“We are also in the process of finalising an agreement with the CSCSS (Centre for Strategy Cyberspace and Security Services) an international research body, to run a one-day conference aimed at unpacking some of the latest global trends around cybersecurity and cyber warfare. In addition, we are currently investigating other features which would add value to the exhibitor and visitor experience. We encourage feedback from exhibitors and visitors to the show, as to features and content they feel might add further value to the exhibition in this regard,” adds Low.

Securex will once again align itself with the industry’s leading associations, an initiative that bears fruit for all stakeholders. “Together with this we will continue to reinforce and develop the Securex Seminar educational programme which has proved to be extremely successful and aims to provide visitors with a wealth of information on current trends and legislation affecting the industry,” he says.

With over 52% of stand space already booked, prospective exhibitors are encouraged to contact Sven Riddle or Zelda Jordaan on: [email protected] or [email protected] or visit www.securex.co.za to ensure they are able to reserve their prime spot at the 2016 event.
