IFSEC & FIREX International Primed for Successful 2015 With 92% of Floor Space Sold

Dell, Mitsubishi Electric and DVTel are among the big names already snapped up for IFSEC International 2015.

Organised by UBM Live, the premier security and fire show has already sold 92% of the exhibition floor space with the event still more than seven months away.

Other exhibitors include Dorma UK, Capita IT Services, Hanbang Technology and Commax.

Following the phenomenal success of the 2014 edition – which saw a 29% increase in end user and international visitors following the move to London from Birmingham – IFSEC International is aiming to attract an even bigger audience to London ExCeL in 2015.

Some 74% of last year’s visitors recognised IFSEC International as the most prestigious security industry event in the world. Reflecting its international prowess the international pavilions will next year introduce a Spanish pavilion for the very first time.

“Biggest security show in Europe”

Dubbed the “biggest security show in Europe” by exhibitors the show generated £362,000 of business on average per exhibitor –  a year-on-year increase of more than £200,000.

As the security and fire industries increasingly integrate the continuing co-location of both IFSEC International and FIREX International is invaluable to the significant proportion of visitors – from installers and integrators to consultants and facilities managers – with an interest in both fire and security technologies and education.

“We’re hugely excited for the shows in 2015 already,” said IFSEC & FIREX International event director Gerry Dunphy. “We have taken on board all of the customer feedback and introduced features on the show floor in response to this.

“Incorporating FIREX alongside is a big asset to visitors who manage systems integration of intelligent buildings and we will be releasing more detail on the cross over features shortly, so keep an eye out!”

In response to huge demand for a greater focus on cutting-edge technology show organisers are introducing the Innovation Zone, which will showcase the latest, most innovative products on the market in a unique environment, at next year’s show.

Safe Cities will also be a central hub within IFSEC International to shape the future of urban security, civil welfare and disaster management. Safe Cities at IFSEC International will demonstrate how traditional and new security solutions can be interconnected, interoperable and future-proofed to play a vital role in the advanced security architectures of the future. This initiative will provide insight into stronger resilience, greater security and a safer environment for the next generation.

Security & Fire Installer Live is going to be back in a big way in 2015 following its launch in 2014. Business advisers will be on hand to give guidance on the most effective methods for company expansion, as well as giving the opportunity to try products before purchasing.  Experts will be giving live demos and testing kit to the extreme so visitors can see for themselves the limits products can be pushed to.

The IFSEC & FIREX Global Meetings Programme will be back following the huge success of 2014. More than 490 tailor-made meetings were set up to ensure valuable business connections were made.

“The Global Meetings service has been an essential tool for the success we had at IFSEC International 2014. Thanks to this service, we were able to better prepare our participation as well as to better target and invite key people to our booth. The quality of Global Meetings service as well as the quality of contacts is much appreciated it really saves a lot of time and effort.

“This service made an important difference on the success at IFSEC International 2014 for us and we cannot wait to make use of it again for next year´s show,” said Isabel Tinoco, Business Development Specialist, fortem.
