The organisers of the IFSEC exhibition are launching IFSEC International Connect 2021. That will be an online event through June. IFSEC International is still due to run from July 12 to 14, at ExCeL, London, as an in-person event.
Owners Informa describe the virtual event as an opportunity for buyers to browse solution providers and products on the online marketplace, connect with suppliers and request live video meetings. Exhibitors will also be able to request meetings with IFSEC International Connect 2021 attendees, and all attendees can view best practice and thought-leadership content.
Chris Edwards, Group Director at Informa Markets, said: “IFSEC International succeeded in bringing the industry together remotely during 2020 when it was simply impossible to meet face to face. This year, we’ll be building on that success and significantly raising the bar in terms of the content and connections we’ll be delivering for exhibitors and attendees online during IFSEC International Connect 2021.”
Attendees who register for IFSEC International Connect 2021 will be able to access the five other online events in June:
Facilities Show Connect
FIREX International Connect
Safety & Health Expo Connect
Workplace Wellbeing Show Connect; and
Intelligent Building Europe Connect
The summer 2020 show was unable to go ahead due to the pandemic – and the venue in London Docklands was in any case made into Britain’s first emergency Nightingale Hospital. For this year’s show, the organisers point to their standard, Informa AllSecure, as piloted in September and approved by the UK Government in November as a model for running large events safely. It involves several health and safety measures, including deep cleaning, social distancing onsite, staggered arrival times and PPE, including face masks.
