The security industry is gearing up for its major annual showcase, IFSEC and Security Solutions 2002. This year's event, which carries an extra resonance in light of last year's Twin Tower atrocities, promises to be the most significant ever. To reflect this new thinking, the IFSEC Security Conference, organised by the BSIA, will devote a whole day to the subject of 21st Century Terrorism. The National Terrorist Crime Prevention Unit will be taking part in this seminar, which will centre on the integration of traditional crime reduction with anti-terrorism measures.
This year at IFSEC, also sees the introduction of a Biometrics Village, a specially branded part of the show that will bring visitors all the latest developments in this field. "This technology is evidently coming into its own, and it needs to be seen in context to be fully appreciated. It is more important now than ever for security managers to know which people, rather than which cards have gained access into their building," said Richard Clarke, IFSEC event manager. The Biometrics Village will take its place alongside the regular product zones. This year sees a Fire Village complete the line-up of the CCTV Village, Intruder Alarms Village, and The International Pavilions.
To make things easier, visitors will now be able to navigate the show at leisure from the comfort of their own home, thanks to the event's newly improved website, www.ifsec.co.uk. Brand new features allow visitors to see who is exhibiting, on what stand, and then to contact a particular exhibitor before the show to make an on-site appointment. The site also provides a medium for exhibitors to keep visitors updated on their own activity, like new product launches or special promotions.
More than five hundred companies are expected at IFSEC and Security Solutions 2002, which run alongside The International Police Conference and Exhibition - ACPO, Safety & Health Expo and The Facilities Show 2002.
