Informa, organisers of the Anticipate event, which comprised these co-located shows, have announced its closure.
IFSEC (the International Fire and Security Exhibition) was launched in 1974 and became one of the leading events in the global security and fire safety industry. For fifty years, it has served as a platform for professionals from across the world to come together to explore the latest technologies, products, and services in the security sector. It attracted suppliers, manufacturers and other organisations from across the sector.
In the statement the organisers said, “We’ve taken the decision to retire Anticipate. This industry is about evolving and adapting. And we know that the ways UK professionals want to stay informed across the many topics and specialisms within health, safety, security, buildings and facilities are changing too.
We’re proud to have served this fantastic community over the years. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey.
To our valued Anticipate, IFSEC, FIREX, Safety & Health Expo, Facilities Show, and SHP customers, we’d like to take a moment to thank you for being an essential part of Anticipate and its related events. You have helped us to create many memorable moments over the last 50 years and we thank you for your continued support.”
