Ifsec 2007

Ifsec 2007 attracted 32 368* security professionals from around the world.

"To achieve visitor figures like this is phenomenal and truly reflective of the show's global appeal," explains James Blue, Ifsec event director. "Ifsec has a strong, award-winning team behind it who, together with pro-active exhibitors and a first class educational programme have been able to provide the industry with an event that really addresses the pertinent issues."

As well as providing visitors with a wide variety of the latest products and services to hit the market, Ifsec 2007 also presented a comprehensive educational programme. A series of three themed seminar theatres offered visitors free seminar sessions on everything from counter terrorism strategy to the latest command and control software, to IP cameras.

In one of the most popular seminar sessions, the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) along with some of the experts involved with the London 2012 Olympics, highlighted the issues presented by the Olympics for the private security industry, including problems such as biometric technology, identity fraud and the use of detector-activated, remotely monitored CCTV. Ifsec 2007 also included a number of brand new feature areas. The Police and Public Security feature, planned with a variety of industry experts, proved a massive success with visitors who were able to explore and compare the variety of products and services available to them, as well as network with colleagues. The Physical Security area, an exciting new feature area for 2007, catered specifically for those involved in perimeter protection, locking systems, safes and other physical security measures.

Ifsec 2008 will take place from 12 to 15 May 2008 at the NEC Birmingham.
