Live event TV will broadcast at IFSEC and FIREX for the very first time. Interviews with visitors, speakers and exhibitors will be screened via multiple large screens and plasmas and stream live over IFSECGlobal.com, IFSEC.co.uk and FIREX.co.uk.
IFSEC TV is sponsored by Xtralis, while FIREX TV is backed by C-TEC.
IFSEC and FIREX event director Gerry Dunphy said: “We’ve already used live broadcasting at other UBM events and the results were seismic. For exhibitors it’s a major opportunity to broadcast their services to the whole audience and for visitors it’s a marvellous way to obtain relevant information, wherever they are in the halls.”
Innovation Trail
ExCeL London awaits…
We’re always keen to improve our exhibitions and one thing attendees have often requested is clearer signposting to genuinely innovative products and services. With this in mind we’re launching the IFSEC Innovation Trail, which will guide you through a handpicked selection of pioneering products that are being showcased on the show floor for the very first time.
And we’re not talking minor software updates or slightly different camera casing; we want to flag genuine innovation – technology with the potential to make real changes to the industry.
Security & Fire Installer Live
Created for the installer by the installer, Security & Fire Installer is the upshot of conversations with the installer community about how we can better meet their needs.
The emphasis is on a hands-on, rather than a passive, experience, with installers and integrators invited to test out the latest kit.
Anglia Tools will run the Tool Zone, which will feature demos from Dewalt, Milwaukee, Bosch and Makita. A networking bar, meanwhile, will provide a meeting point for installers and end users.
With installer registrations up by 72% year-on-year as IFSEC and FIREX International relocates to London, the addition of Security & Fire Installer Live could hardly be more timely.
A 2011 Frost & Sullivan report identified the rise of ‘safe cities’ as one of five ‘mega trends’ for the next 10 years in aerospace, defence and security. Defined by the research firm as “a plan to enhance public security and welfare by deploying networked security systems across a city’s infrastructure to optimise the necessary response from detection, action to management”, Safe Cities is an important addition to IFSEC International’s roster of zones.
Focusing on four key areas – urban infrastructure, cyber security, counter terrorism and public order – the Safe Cities Conference and Exhibition will provide education, solution and technology providers for global governments, public sector officials and companies to secure their cities from threats and attack.
Safe Cities is endorsed by the UK government and London Mayor.
The most spectacular change of all, of course, is the event’s relocation to the capital.
As a 100-acre site with some of the world’s most impressive exhibition facilities, ExCeL London is well suited to the demands of a Protection & Management Series comprising six huge shows.
Located in the heart of the Docklands business district, ExCeL London is also perfectly placed to attract a more international audience – and indeed, registrations from overseas visitors have soared by 115% compared to last year.
The decision to relocate to London has been well and truly vindicated by other registration figures too – including 40% of new registrations accounted for by completely new visitors and a strong increase in registrations across the entire buying chain, including a 129% rise in end users.
