(1888PressRelease) November 23, 2011 - Safety, security and policing are becoming issues of crucial importance worldwide and in the Middle East in particular. This means there is an increased significance for regional trade and networking platforms such as Intersec to highlight the particular issues and trends which are affecting the industries.

This was underlined by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum who is once again to be patron of Intersec. This further assures the support of local authorities for the event, which will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from January 15th to 17th, 2012.

"We are grateful to H.H. Sheikh Mansoor for the royal patronage, which adds to the significance of events like Intersec," said Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of organiser, Epoc Messe Frankfurt. "The support and patronage of governments and local authorities have played a formative role in establishing Intersec as the premier show of its kind in the region," he added.

"Over the last 14 years, Intersec's development has reflected the expansion of the regional safety and security industries," said Pauwels. "It will continue to feature the latest trends and developments in the global sphere, facilitate and promote international trade and exchange of ideas and play a part in transforming the regional industry by promoting best practices in the region," he added.

Current estimates indicate that the show will be considerably larger both in size and scope as compared to the record-breaking 2011 edition. This is because Intersec is the most significant brand for exhibitors in the fields of Commercial Security, Fire & Rescue, Information Security, Safety & Health, Homeland Security & Policing and Aviation Security.

Being one of the leading safety, security and policing trade and networking events worldwide, Intersec continues to be the platform of choice for leading manufacturers and suppliers to debut their latest product innovations. The Middle East market continues to be a high-priority region for the safety and security industry, thanks to its high spending power and prioritisation of security issues.

The event will also feature a comprehensive conference and seminar programme which includes a range of high-powered international speakers and regional experts offering insight on current hot button issues and industry trends and developments. Also, for the first time, this year Intersec will host a congress on Emergency Medicine running alongside the event to highlight current trends and advances in Emergency Medicine and provide a vital, first-of-its-kind discussion platform for the region.

Also held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE International FireFit Championships will run alongside the event for the third year. Growing in size and scope year on year, this year the Championships will welcome teams from across the GCC.

Also part of the outdoor programme, a full range of tactical rescues and close combat operations will once again take centre stage. Showcasing interactive scenarios across the fields of rescue, counter terror and law enforcement, the outdoor demonstration area proves to be a big draw for trade visitors each year.

Intersec 2012 is part of Messe Frankfurt's global network of security trade fairs which also include Secutech in Taiwan, Secutech India, Secutech Thailand, Secutech Vietnam, Seguriexpo Buenos Aires and Intersec Buenos Aires. Please visit www.intersec.messefrankfurt.com for more details.
