Intersec 2015, Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, UAE
Published: 04 December, 2014
FOR YOUR DIARY: Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec (January 18-20) will feature more than 1,300 exhibitors from over 50 countries, including 300 newcomers.
With two additional exhibition halls booked for 2015, the three-day event focuses on the five core areas of Commercial Security; Information Security; Fire & Rescue; Safety & Health; and Homeland Security & Policing.
Exhibition space for two of the five sections, Fire & Rescue and Homeland Security & Policing, has already sold out, further reinforcing Intersec’s status as the premier business platform for the global security and safety sectors.
‘Intersec has grown from a GCC-focused event into one of the world’s leading networking platforms for the global security and safety industries’, said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Epoc Messe Frankfurt.
‘With a footprint that spans the entire region and active participation from a majority of the leading international players, Intersec is today a must-attend event for the global security, safety, and fire protection communities.’
With more than 600 exhibitors, Commercial Security will form the largest section at Intersec 2015. The Fire & Protection section has, however, recorded the largest percentage growth year-on-year, largely due to UAE-based Founding Sponsor NAFFCO, which booked an entire hall for 2015.
New additions for Intersec 2015 include two new pavilions – the first being an Aerial Surveillance Pavilion, which focuses on aerial surveillance, unmanned aerial systems, search & rescue, and EMS (Emergency Medical Services).
The second is the GPEC (General Police Equipment Exhibition & Conference) Pavilion, which complements the Homeland Security & Policing section, covering all relevant products.
Other highlights that the more than 26,000 visitors can expect at Intersec 2015 include the Techtextil Pavilion which focuses on technical textiles and nonwoven protective clothing; the Dubai SME Pavilion, dedicated to UAE start-ups and SMEs involved in the security and safety industries; and a highly focused line-up of seven dedicated conferences that cover every aspect of safety, security, and fire protection.
Intersec 2015 will also feature 13 country pavilions from Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Korea, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan, UK and USA.
