An essential visit for Africa’s security professionals

April 2018 News & Events, Conferences & Events, Training & Education

Visitor registration has gone live on the Securex South Africa 2018 website, so interested parties are encouraged to sign up now to ensure their free attendance at this year’s expo.

2018 marks the 25th anniversary of the expo and sees Securex return to Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand once again from 22 to 24 May 2018.

Co-located with A-OSH EXPO, one of the biggest draw-cards for the Securex 2018 show will be the expansive content covered within its free-to-attend seminar theatre.

Says Sven Smit, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery: “This year’s seminar programme tackles cutting-edge topics within the sector such as the booming growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), getting to grips with both the local Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPIA) and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the importance of convergence between physical and cybersecurity, insight into using artificial intelligence (AI) for business and security, and the challenge of protecting devices within the mobile era.

“We’re also looking at the status of the surveillance market, developments and challenges within private security, how to secure goods in transit, and the latest local crime trends.”

Aside from gaining insight at the more than 20 highly topical seminar sessions, Securex South Africa 2018 will feature over 160 exhibiting companies, showcasing the A to Z of security products and services, the South African Intruder Detection Services Association (SAIDSA) Tech-man competition, live demonstrations, and more.

“Securex brings together stakeholders from every facet of the local security industry,” says Smit. “And seeing that security – both at a cyber and physical level – is at the top of every business agenda today, the expo provides an opportunity for industry discussion and collaboration.
