Register for IFSEC International Connect 2021 – taking place in June!

UPDATE: Visitor registration is now closed for IFSEC International Connect 2021.

IFSEC International Connect 2021 is a brand-new digital event running throughout June.

“The event presents an exciting and timely opportunity for the security industry to reconnect and explore the innovative approaches to security technologies born out of a challenging year,” said Chris Edwards, Group Director at Informa Markets.

“Attendees will get to grips with the very latest industry innovations; from how thermal surveillance cameras can help manage COVID-19 to the evolution of touch-free biometrics, among much more.”

IFSEC Connect 2021: 1-30 June, Online

The month-long online event, running from 1-30 June 2021, will give attendees the opportunity to connect with new and international audiences through video calls and instant messaging, whilst also providing opportunities to browse thousands of security solutions, connect with the security industry’s leading suppliers and access expert-led thought-leadership content from any location.

Attendees can connect with exhibitors and professionals they want to meet using the Connect AI augmented platform, which makes intelligent recommendations based on their online profile. A series of tech-based presentations and thought-leadership panel discussions focusing on the industry’s hottest topics are scheduled throughout June, which will address the future of video surveillance and CCTV, access control, intruder detection, protecting cities and much more.

Over 32,000 visitors from more than 120 countries are expected to attend both events, with over 600 of the security industry’s biggest names also set to take part, including Dahua Technology, HID Global, Motorola Solutions, Texecom, CSL, ELAN, Eagle Eye Networks, Ultinous, Adani for Security, alongside key security associations BSIA, SSAIB, the Security Institute, ASIS and FSA.

This year’s IFSEC International had been scheduled to take place at London’s ExCeL from 12-14 July, however the team is now focused on preparations for the 2022 edition, with leading names such as Hikvision, Paxton Access and Anixter having already booked their space.

Chris Edwards, Group Director at Informa Markets, said: “We’ve worked tremendously hard along with our venue and contractor partners to deliver an event that is both safe and successful for all involved, but it’s become clear that with the ongoing international travel disruption and general uncertainty caused by the pandemic that transitioning to a vibrant online experience that the whole international security community can be part of is the right thing to do.

“Our virtual event, IFSEC Connect, will offer delegates and suppliers the chance to come together online and we look forward to delivering an in-person series of events at a scale our customers are used to seeing in 2022.”
