Announcing the new dates, Chris Edwards, Group Director, Informa Markets stated, “We’re extremely excited about the opportunities the December 2024 dates will unlock with co-located industry events, such as the Security & Fire Awards in Park Lane now just 30 minutes away on the new Elizabeth line.

And, having consulted with key stakeholders in the industry for several months it was becoming increasingly clear that the new dates would allow our customers more space to do business in what was otherwise becoming an increasingly congested period of the year.

These new dates will now offer increased flexibility while also allowing us to offer more value to those attending in the form of content on the show floor and post-show networking.”

In addition, a content partnership with Omdia, an industry leading market research consultancy has been confirmed for 2024 which aims to bring high level content to the show floor touching on Smart Infrastructure.

“It’s clear that technology is driving rapid change in all areas and our visitors need a forum to learn and discuss what this will mean for both new and existing commercial property. Omdia are part of the Informa family and have a reputation for quality and trust which make them perfect as we look to establish this as a fixture in our audiences’ diaries every year,” added Chris Edwards.

Mark Watson, Research VP at Omdia commented: “The Smart Infrastructure analyst team of Omdia is excited to partner with Ifsec, bringing together leading-edge business intelligence and thought leadership with an internationally recognised event brand. Connecting the physical security and building tech supply chain around future looking and industry leading trends will drive higher value for all in the community.”
