It’s time for the 2017 edition of Securex and Hi-Tech Security Solutions has collected information from many of the exhibitors to provide our readers with a small sampling of what you can expect at the event. This year’s Securex will be held from 30 May to 1 June at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.

To provide a glimpse into what you can expect at the show from the various exhibitors, Hi-Tech Security Solutions asked them for an insight into their plans. Within these pages is a brief overview. There will be far more at the show than we can fit in this preview, so be sure to grab a copy of the Visitor’s Guide at the entrance to the exhibition.
