SICUR International Safety and Security Fair, has begun making preparations for its seventeenth edition. The fair, organised by IFEMA, will take place in Halls at FERIA DE MADRID between 2nd and 5th March 2010.
With still nine months to go before the event itself takes place and following a slight readjustment of the fair's dates which means SICUR will now take place during the first week in March, the forecasts for the next edition of the event are promising. The strong support that the industry has provided for the fair, together with the favourable results achieved at the last edition, which witnessed a record number of visitors (39,755 professionals) and the largest level of business participation in the event's history (737 direct exhibitors), confirm the role that SICUR has acquired as one of the key points of reference at an international level for the safety and security industry.
Furthermore, the fair will once again enjoy the active participation and backing of the leading associations that represent the different sectors that make up the SICUR offer. Among these, we might mention the following: AES, the Spanish Association of Security Companies, which occupies the Chairmanship of the Fair Organising Committee; as well as APROSER, the Business Association of Private Security Service Companies; ASEPAL, the Association of Personal Labour Protection Equipment Companies; and TECNIFUEGO-AESPI, the Spanish Association of Fire Protection Companies. The latter three associations occupy the Vice-Chairmanships of the Organising Committee.
As is customary, the SICUR offer will revolve around three monographic sections representing the three main sectors present at the fair: SICUR PROLABOR, the brand that encompasses al products and services that fall within the realm of Prevention of Accidents within the Work-Place; Fire Protection; and Security, protection from break-ins, robbery and assault. In addition, as part of the integral safety and security approach on which the fair is based, SICUR will seek to promote a further step forward regarding the development of the safety and security sector by facilitating meetings between public and private safety and security representatives within the framework of the fair.
In this respect, the next edition of SICUR will provide an ideal an ideal showcase for innovation, as well as providing a forum for the dissemination of the latest safety and security ideas and solutions, based on an entire range of perspectives. In this respect, the fair will provide a key meeting-point for all members of the market. Thus, based on this integral approach, the fair will provide professionals with access to a constantly developing range of products and services, backed by an industry that is solid, highly competitive and committed to society.
