Safety, security and policing are becoming issues of crucial importance worldwide and in the Middle East in particular. This means there is an increased significance for regional trade and networking platforms such as Intersec to highlight the particular issues and trends which are affecting the industries.
 
This was underlined by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum who is once again to be Patron of Intersec which will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from 15-17 January 2012.
 
Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of organiser, Epoc Messe Frankfurt, said: “Over the last 14 years, Intersec’s development has reflected the expansion of the regional safety and security industries,” said Pauwels. “It will continue to feature the latest trends and developments in the global sphere, facilitate and promote international trade and exchange of ideas and play a part in transforming the regional industry by promoting best practices in the region.”
 
Current estimates indicate that the show will be considerably larger both in size and scope as compared to the record-breaking 2011 edition.

Intersec attracts Exhibitors in the fields of Commercial Security, Fire & Rescue, Information Security, Safety & Health, Homeland Security & Policing and Aviation Security.
 
The event will also feature a comprehensive conference which includes a range of high-powered international speakers and regional experts offering insight on current hot button issues and industry trends and developments.

For the first time, Intersec 2012 will host a congress on Emergency Medicine running alongside the event to highlight current trends and advances in Emergency Medicine and provide a vital, first-of-its-kind discussion platform for the region.
 
Also held under the patronage of Sheikh Mansoor, the UAE International FireFit Championships will run alongside the event for the third year. Growing in size and scope year on year, this year the Championships will welcome teams from across the GCC.
 
A full range of tactical rescues and close combat operations will once again take centre stage showcasing interactive scenarios across the fields of rescue, counter terror and law enforcement.

Intersec 2012 is part of Messe Frankfurt’s global network of security trade fairs which also include Secutech in Taiwan, SecutechIndia, Secutech Thailand, Secutech Vietnam, Seguriexpo Buenos Aires and Intersec Buenos Aires.
