Over 750 exhibitors from 50 countries and more than 22,000 trade visitors are expected to participate at an upcoming security show in Dubai.

Intersec Trade Fair and Conference, the region’s premier trade event for commercial and information security, aviation, homeland security and policing, fire and rescue and safety and health industries, will take place from 16-18 January 2011 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The event will feature all the popular attractions of previous shows, including the second International Firefit Championships and the high-interest outdoor demo area.

The exhibition and conference, which reflect the latest trends and developments within the security industry, have been drawing strong interest from manufacturers, suppliers, security agencies and government institutions from across the world.

The show will be larger both in scope and reach as compared to last year, a fact that reflects the increasing interest in safety and security worldwide and in the region in particular. With a 25 per cent increase in net space sold, and eight halls fully occupied, this is the largest edition yet.

“Increasing concerns over safety and security in the region has led to a surge in interest about the latest trends and developments in these fields,” said Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of Organizer Epoc Messe Frankfurt.

“Being the largest and most representative event of its kind, Intersec 2011 will attract all those who have a stake in the industry as it presents the best platform for industry networking and for gauging the latest trends and developments.  It will be a key factor in the drive for industry best practice in the region,” he added.
