IFSEC 2019
IFSEC shows you how…
This year, IFSEC International is
again featuring the Show Me How
programme aimed squarely at
installers. Here we take a look at the
components of the 2019 campaign
The IFSEC International security seminar and
conference programme is always a big
attraction, however of special interest to
installers is the Show Me How programme which
gives a deeper look at security technology in
terms of installation and maintenance.
To define the content of the Show Me How
programme, IFSEC organisers UBM asked
hundreds of security professionals what they
wanted to see at the event and also to state what
security concerns keep them up at night. The key
responses were:
• “Show me how to install the kit – what does it
do? How does it help?”
• “Show me the vendors I can trust.”
• “Show me the future, I’m developing
strategies into 2025.”
• “Show me how my business can move into
different areas, introduce me to new revenue
streams.”
• “I know what the tech is, show me what it can
do.”
• “Show me the possibilities and the
capabilities.”
• “Show me how to take advantage of emerging
opportunities.”
IFSEC 2019 has been built around these
requests with a three-day Show Me How agenda
with sessions handpicked for the level of
technical detail and real life know-how they'll
provide. Show Me How also extends to other
attractions such Speaker’s Corner where solution
providers showcase their products in 15-minute
time slots, then take questions on their
innovations in 10 minute Q&A sessions.
The Show Me How programme encompasses
more than just the seminar and conference
programme, but encompasses everything at the
show, with hand selected Show Me How
exhibitors, technical stand personnel, and
product demonstrations. Here we list some of the
other attractions in the programme:
Keynote Arena
The IFSEC International security seminar and
conference programme was dramatically
overhauled in 2018, with the new Keynote Arena
playing host to an inspiring series of
presentations placed at the heart of the event.
Visitors can improve their security strategy, learn
from real-life case studies and get inspired by
some of the industry’s most influential figures at
the Keynote Arena.
Renowned speakers will discuss and debate
some of the most topical and critical issues facing
the security industry, from cybersecurity and
ethical and legal challenges through to
extremism. In 2019, video analytics, AI, machinebased
learning, a year of GDPR, Brexit and
security in smart cities will be among the topics
covered, all overseen by returning chair Frank
Gardner.
For visitors and exhibitors alike, the Keynote
Theatre provides the tools to remain at the
forefront of the security industry. Most
importantly, the topics on show here are chosen
by the industry itself, drawing from suggestions
made by IFSEC visitors. As a result, the theatre
remains timely, relevant and essential.
The Future of Security Theatre
The Future of Security Theatre courtesy of IFSEC
education partner Tavcomallows visitors to
access a programme of education dedicated to
the ideas, products and innovations driving the
development of the security industry. Experts and
industry leaders will share a vision of the
industry’s future in a series of sessions and
presentations, and answer burning questions
