IMP Events are setting up a new security show. Integrated Security Solutions show (or ISS Expo) will run on October 3 and 4, 2012.
The organisers are holding a morning of presentations, from 10am to noon on Thursday, September 22 at Docklands ExCel London. IMS Researchโs Analyst, Ewan Lamont, will give a presentation based on findings from IMSโ investigation of sector-specific integrated security solutions. He will also talk about the changing nature of the threats that end-users are preparing for in several key markets including retail, financial services and critical infrastructure.
IMP Eventsโ directors, Clive Ellings and Graeme Howe, will also speak about their ambitions for the event. Invited to attend are camera and storage and display technologies manufacturers, access control, building management systems providers, station management systems providers as well as Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system providers, systems integration firms, manned guarding service providers and security consultancy firms.
The ISS Expo itself aims to attract more than 120 exhibitors and over 2,500 senior security end-user decision-makers in its first year. Already 12 organisations have reserved or contracted an exhibition stand, and another 27 organisations have registered for the launch. ISS Expo is aiming at senior security decision-makers in the retail, banking, utilities and major public sector institutions such as schools, hospitals and local authorities.
The event will offer free seminars, and a conference targeting senior decision-makers which will focus on strategic security planning issues. The organisers add that the exhibition and conference will offer senior buyers an โone stop shopโ during this two day event in London.
Graeme Howe, event director for ISS Expo, said: โThe focus on integrated security systems comes at a time when ease-of-use and integration is becoming a key driver for the growth of the professional security world. The work of technical standards bodies like ONVIF, the PSIA and the HDcctv Alliance, have made it much easier to integrate security products like surveillance cameras, digital and network video recorders and video management systems to create security systems cost effectively.
โThe growth of the PSIM market and demand for integration with access control, intruder alarm, fire, intercom as well as building and station management systems, shows the direction of travel. The market is now moving beyond a pure focus on component sales and product functionality towards creating customised security solutions addressing pre-identified security threats. Now is the right time to showcase manufacturers and systems integrators for the benefit of a growing group of public and private sector end-users, integrators and consultants looking for these capabilities.โ Visit the ISS Expo website –
