ISNR (International Security & National Resilience) is a key addition to the global security events calendar and will act as a platform to address homeland security challenges confronting the region's governments. It will focus on the entire range of homeland security issues including intelligence and threat assessment, border and transport security, counter terrorism, critical infrastructure protection, crisis management and resilience, and emergency preparedness and response.

ISNR Abu Dhabi will take place 2-5 March 2008 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre under the patronage of HH General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces. It will be held in association with the UAE Ministry of Interior.

EADS, Thales, BAE Systems, ADCOM, IBCOL, SAGEM, CARACAL and Honeywell are among several world leading players from the defence and security industries who have already confirmed their participation at ISNR Abu Dhabi, in a bid to tap the Middle East's expanding market potential.

"The safety and security industry is booming throughout the Middle East as the region deals with a wide variety of concerns ranging from disaster resilience, border control and private citizen safety to transaction fraud", says Mohamad Nabhani, show director, ISNR Abu Dhabi "ISNR provides an ideal business environment for companies with high technology security products and services as they have the unique opportunity to communicate and interact with senior government procurement personnel who are engaged in all aspects of security, homeland defence and preparedness", he adds.

In response to requests by exhibitors to streamline the region's security events calendar, ISNR will incorporate the former Security and Safety Middle East, Infosecurity and APTS (Airport, Port & Transport Security) Middle East exhibitions.

Besides the exhibition, ISNR Abu Dhabi will also consist of a high-level conference and workshops by companies that specialize in high-end security technology, systems and services. ISNR Abu Dhabi is the second leg in the ISNR series and follows ISNR London which will be held 4-5 December 2007 at the National Hall, Olympia, London.
