Informa Markets, in consultation with its exhibitors and event partners, has decided to reschedule IFSEC International and its co-located shows.
This postponement and rescheduling covers the following events:
- IFSEC International
- Counter Terror Expo, Forensics Europe Expo and World Counter Terror Congress (Organised by Clarion Events)
- FIREX International
- Safety & Health Expo
- Facilities Show
- Intelligent Building Europe
- Workplace Wellbeing Show
Originally set to take place on 8–10 September 2020, the events are now scheduled for 18–20 May 2021 at ExCeL London.
David Townsend, Event Director, CTX, Clarion Defence and Security, commented: “CTX is an important milestone for security professionals from industry, infrastructure, government and policing to network and do business. So, while we are of course disappointed not to be holding the event this year, the decision is in the best interests of our customers, attendees, and suppliers. In addition, as a strategic counter-terror event with a global audience, a significant proportion of this audience typically travel from overseas. Given that governments around the world are continuing to advise against international travel at this time, we believe the most prudent course of action is to focus on bringing the community back together at CTX in May 2021. We will be working closely with our exhibitors and industry partners to shape a reunion to remember.”
Chris Edwards, Group Director for IFSEC International : “As each of our communities look to rebuild and recover in 2021 our team will also be working hard to ensure we return next year with an event that brings people back together for the reunion everyone will be crying out for. Details on how our events will continue to evolve and develop for next year will be forthcoming over the summer.”
