Security Essen’s Supporting Program Offers Insights for Enhanced Safety

Whether it’s the optimal use of drones, the latest developments in cybersecurity, or innovative ideas for protecting financial institutions: Security Essen’s supporting program offers valuable knowledge, concrete strategies, and actionable recommendations for current challenges. The leading security trade fair, featuring around 500 exhibitors, will take place at Messe Essen from September 17 to 20. Throughout the event, industry professionals can network with top security experts in lectures, conferences, and live demonstrations, gaining a crucial informational edge in an ever-evolving world.

Julia Jacob, Project Manager of Security Essen, reveals: “The supporting program of Security Essen 2024 is our innovation platform for knowledge transfer in the security industry. Here, professionals as well as visionaries come together to experience and shape the future of the industry.” Most events are intentionally held directly in the exhibition halls, providing participants with short distances and direct contact opportunities.
