Anticipate London: Repositioning IFSEC for the Future

Anticipate London: Repositioning Facilities Show, Safety & Health Expo, FIREX, and IFSEC for the Future 

In an ever-changing world, property and people leaders face constant challenges that demand proactive solutions. From technological innovation to climate change, legislation, and unanticipated threats, today’s professionals must minimise risk while embracing new innovations and opportunities.

Anticipate London stands at the forefront of this evolution, offering a platform dedicated to smarter properties, safer occupants, and integrated systems.

Emerging from the legacy of four renowned industry events—IFSEC, FIREX, Safety & Health Expo, and the Facilities Show—Anticipate London is not just a new name. It’s a bold, unified event designed to meet the needs of today’s leaders while preparing them for tomorrow’s challenges.

Facilities Show, Safety & Health Expo, FIREX, and IFSEC Reimagined

For years, each of the four co-located events—Facilities Show, Safety & Health Expo, FIREX, and IFSEC—has been a cornerstone for professionals in their respective fields.

Now, Anticipate London brings these established brands together into one dynamic event, maintaining their core focus while adding value through expanded content and a more seamlessly integrated experience.

  • Facilities Show: Still the premier event for FM and property managers, now covering ESG, workplace trends, and PropTech. The UK facility management market is projected to grow to $71.46 billion by 2026, highlighting the sector’s significant growth.
  • Safety & Health Expo: Continues to address employee wellbeing, inclusive PPE, and workplace safety. With 693,000 non-fatal workplace injuries in 2022, according to the HSE, the demand for health and safety services remains critical.
  • FIREX: Focusing on the Building Safety Act, the golden thread, and evolving fire safety regulations. Post-Grenfell reforms are expected to drive substantial fire safety investments, keeping FIREX at the forefront of industry change.
  • IFSEC: Bringing together security professionals to explore cyber security, AI, and new threats. The global security market is forecast to grow from $119.4 billion in 2022 to $173.6 billion by 2027, reflecting increased demand for advanced security technologies.
  • Anticipate London: Brings it all together, but with even more value than before. It attracts even more forward-thinking leaders are focused on opportunities presented by building technologies and digitalisation, all while addressing the challenges of decarbonisation, global risks, and evolving government regulations.

  • High-Calibre Keynotes: With speakers from MI6, BT, the Bank of England, the NHS, and more, attendees will gain critical insights from global industry leaders.
  • Exclusive Networking Areas: VIP lounges, invite-only gatherings, and backstage experiences create a tailored, senior-level experience for strategic decision-makers.
  • Converged Solutions: In recognition of the growing overlap between traditional property, H&S, fire safety, and security roles, Anticipate London unites these fields to deliver a holistic approach to managing risk.
  • Cutting-Edge Tech: From energy monitoring to surveillance feeds, the Nerve Centre offers live demonstrations of state-of-the-art technologies.
  • Fringe Events: The renowned EHS Congress, FM & Property Awards Party, and the Security & Fire Excellence Awards add extra value to attendees.

“Anticipate London isn’t just a new event – it represents a smarter, more connected designed for the people shaping the future. The events will continue to focus on the specialized areas you’ve relied on, from security, fire safety, and health & safety to facilities management, smart buildings, and more. But this year our focus can really be summed up as concentrating on four areas: cutting edge technology, solutions for improving ESG, future facing opportunities and risks and networking for leaders with similar challenges.” said Chris Edwards, Group Director
