The banquet during the Skydd-exhibition had a record attendance of more than 900 guests, a significant number not only in a Swedish or Nordic perspective. Lennart Alexandrie, editor-in-chief for Detektor and managing director for the security publishing company AR Media, named the event as the security world's largest prize nomination dinner.

The Awards-final will be held in connection with Sectech Copenhagens first exhibition day (19-20 Nov), during the evening's banquet dinner. The winners in the categories - Access Control, Alarm&Detection and CCTV will be unveiled during the dinner. A custom-designed glass sculpture from the world renown glass sculptor Bertil Vallien will be given to the winner in each of the categories.

The Detektor International Award is presumably the only internationally established product prize that the security suppliers can't nominate products to.
