SMES Returns in 2015
After two successful editions in 2009 and 2011, the Security Middle East Show (SMES) returns in 2015.
SMES has attracted several local, regional and global companies and received tremendous media attention for the significant role it had in developing the security and defense technological capabilities on a regional scale in MENA, the Near East and Gulf regions. SMES has become a scientific and technical reference as it covers a wide array of sectors, namely security and defense systems, training programs, communication devices, surveillance systems, land and sea border control equipment, airport security, infrastructure, as well as civil defense, special operations and counter terrorism. SMES will return in its third edition in September 08 – 10, 2015 under high-level official patronage, with the full support of the Lebanese Armed Forces and Internal Security Forces. An ever-growing audience, along with a higher number of exhibitors, special live maneuvers, and much more are to be expected.
