Intersec Saudi Arabia, the kingdom’s leading trade fair for safety, security, and fire protection, is gearing up to host its biggest show when it returns for a sixth edition from October 1 to 3.

Organised by 1st Arabia and licensed by Messe Frankfurt, the exhibition will be held in association with the Ministry of Interior and Saudi Civil Defence at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center (RICEC).

The event is expected to host more than 350 exhibitors from 27 countries and will feature country pavilions for China, the Czech Republic, France and the UK.

Saudi-based exhibitors account for 29 per cent of the participating companies, which are categorised across five product sectors – Commercial and Perimeter Security, Cybersecurity, Public Safety and Security, Fire and Rescue, and Safety and Health.

Intersec Saudi Arabia draws thousands of security and safety professionals from around the GCC each year to procure, learn and develop their knowledge of a rapidly growing industry.

With a record-breaking 15,336 visitors having attended last year’s event, the expectations are at a new high, according to the organisers.

The exhibition space for Intersec Saudi Arabia 2024 has increased by 34 per cent from 2023, covering a total area of 23,000 sq m across five halls and one outdoor showcase.

The event is regarded as the largest and most important exhibition and conference for the security, safety, and fire protection industries in Saudi Arabia.”

The annual conference programme for Intersec Saudi Arabia will include the Future Security and Safety Summit and the Fire Protection and Technology Summit, with both of these summits reflecting the specific needs of the Saudi market.

The summits will run throughout the three-day event and have been developed to bring together the industry’s best and brightest minds, offering significant value to attendees and high-quality, valuable educational opportunities to attendees.
