UBM secures position as London’s sole end-user security event with new Global Security Summit

UBM plc announces today (29 February 2012) that following discussions with IMP Events, its new Global Security Summit (www.globalsecurity-summit.com/) will lead as London’s main security event for the senior end-user community. Both parties have agreed that the market is best supported by just one event.

Borne from a strategic partnership between UBM plc, organisers of IFSEC International and FIREX International, and Pro-Activ Publications, publishers of Risk UK, Global Security Summit will provide an unprecedented opportunity for world-leading security, fire and safety companies to present their technologies, services and solutions directly to senior security end-users; security managers and all those responsible for managing the security of their organisation, such as facilities, estate and building managers.

Taking place in London from 10-11 October 2012, at the newly refurbished Olympia Exhibition and Conference Centre, this event is strategically co-located alongside UBM’s built environment exhibitions that attract over 7,000 end-users - Total Workplace Management, the facilities management & estates event, Energy Solutions, the UK’s principal exhibition dedicated to energy management and procurement and the newly launched CIBSE exhibition and conference.

Helping senior end-users from across the security and fire industry meet and do business with the right solutions providers, Global Security Summit is set to deliver an unrivalled business environment with its pre-qualified meetings service.

Offering far greater collaboration opportunities than a traditional exhibition, organisers will match security solution ‘buyers’ with ‘sellers’ and provide personalised itineraries for senior level security end-users consisting of meetings, thought leadership, education and networking.

“As organisers of the IFSEC Global Security Events in the UK, India, Africa and Saudi Arabia, we believe that our industry partnerships and commitment to serving the security market, best places UBM to bring this new event to London. We’re glad that IMP Events will be assisting us in the transition to a single London Event for 2012.”, said Charlie Cracknell, Event Director for UBM’s Security Portfolio. “Our research has emphatically told us that London needs and wants an end-user focused event, that brings together solutions and education underpinned by a new one-to-one meeting format”, he adds.

“Both UBM and IMP recognise that the market is best served by one London-based end-user security event and we are delighted that UBM has invited us to help them make their Global Security Summit the de-facto London security event.

As organisers of IFSEC International and being so deeply entrenched in the market, UBM is very well placed to deliver to the market this much needed London event and, for the good of the market, we are very happy to help them”, said Graeme Howe, Director at IMP.

Backed by the crème de la crème of the security industry, Global Security Summit has the support of ASIS International – UK Chapter, the Association of Security Consultants (ASC), British Security Industry Association (BSIA), Fire Protection Association (FPA) and the Security Institute (SyI).
