The topic of security is more topical than ever. Whether cybercrime, burglary protection or access control - the demand in industry, companies and private households for individual and tailor-made security solutions is constantly increasing. As the leading trade fair, Security Essen brings the security industry together and showcases the industry's innovations and further developments with around 500 exhibitors from September 17 to 20, 2024. At the same time, it will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. What began in 1974 with 105 exhibitors and around 1,000 visitors has long since developed into an international success story.
“Today, Security Essen is the comprehensive platform and indispensable meeting place for the security industry. Thanks to our continuous further development, it always keeps its finger on the pulse of the times. This year, too, visitors can look forward to a number of innovations,” reveals Project Manager Julia Jacob:
· The first European Drone Conference will celebrate its premiere on September 19 and 20. It will shed light on innovative applications and security aspects of drone technology.
· Spectacular explosive attacks on financial institutions have made headlines in the past. The new Banks and Savings Banks Day on September 19 will show how institutions can protect themselves.
