Now in its third year, IFSEC West Africa 2013, sponsored by Guardia Systems, will take place at the EKO EXPO Centre in Lagos from 5-6 March 2013.
As a respected commercial and government security, fire and safety event, it has become an increasingly attractive destination for those security professionals looking to source innovative products and strategic solutions for all their security needs.
“With tight budgets and changing legislation, security professionals must often make strategic purchasing decisions that will impact on their organisations,” believes Ross Cullingworth, portfolio director at UBM Montgomery West Africa, the organisers of IFSEC West Africa 2013. “This show is ideal for these professionals as it opens up an abundant marketplace for them to compare products from top local and international suppliers, manufacturers and distributors, some of which have never been seen before – so this will be a first look at what buyers can expect in the future.”
Every year, more visitors flock to IFSEC West Africa and the 2013 event is expected to draw over 2000 security and safety professionals to Lagos, many of which will be welcomed as first-time visitors.
“We believe the market is recognising the intrinsic value of the show, as it educates visitors in an interactive environment and empowers them to make the right decisions right there and then,” he comments. “At the show, visitors can compare products and supplier offerings. We are confident that they will discover a product or service to meet any security challenge. There is no need to spend months searching for solutions, especially in today’s driven and time-scarce environment.”
Besides showcasing top security brands, IFSEC West Africa 2013 will once again be a hub of education, keeping visitors abreast of the latest industry trends. From product launches to seminars, it will enable visitors to keep up to date on important issues. There will be a panel of high-profile industry experts to speak about implementation, as well as share best practice examples and useful case studies.
West Africa has established itself as an international destination with a uniquely African character; as such, IFSEC West Africa attracts exhibitors and visitors from all over the world. “It is an ideal place for extending your network of contacts,” Cullingworth says. “For us, it is always exciting to be a part of such a synergistic event – with people meeting, debating and exchanging ideas that will shape the security landscape for the next few years.”
IFSEC West Africa 2013 includes a new Safety Pavilion, a dedicated exhibition area, where visitors can witness the most innovative safety solutions up close for vivid and educational demonstrations throughout the two-day event.
