Nineteen Group, organisers of International Security Expo and International Cyber Expo, report they will be working with the UK Department for International Trade’s UK Defence & Security Exports staff on international participation at this year’s exhibition.
The Expo is due to return to Olympia in west London on September 28 and 29. The co-located events attract buyers from across the security industry looking to source products and services, network, and share best practice. Registration for this year’s events is now open.
Nineteen Group is planning in-person participation by delegations from countries that are on the UK Government’s ‘green list’ for travel by September. The full list of these participants will be announced later.
Organisers are also developing Virtual Buyer Rooms on the show floor. These will allow international delegates who are unable to physically attend the exhibition, because of covid restrictions, to connect with London via video links.
Rachael Shattock, Event Director of International Security Expo and International Cyber Expo, said: “Having missed out on the physical shows in 2020 due to the pandemic, we’ve already seen significant demand for this year’s events. International Security Expo has established itself as an unmissable event for security professionals, delivering strong international opportunities thanks to its hosted delegation programmes. Following the ongoing success of the UK vaccination rollout, and key data showing a continued decline in cases, the roadmap to remove all restrictions by 21 June will enable us to finally host international delegations, and play a key role alongside UK Defence & Security Exports in support of the economic recovery.”
And Mark Goldsack, Director of UK Defence & Security Exports, added: “We are delighted to be supporting International Security Expo. It is an important exhibition in the security industry’s domestic calendar which we hope will be one of the first to be held in person this year. Exports are a crucial element of the UK’s economic path to recovery following the pandemic and we look forward to welcoming colleagues from overseas, we hope in person but virtually if necessary. UK Defence & Security Exports staff will also be on hand throughout the exhibition, and I would encourage companies to visit our stand to talk to us about the robust package of support that we offer to first time exporters, as well as to companies who are looking to widen their exporting activity. We look forward to seeing you there.”
