International Security Expo

Where the global security community meets

An essential date in the calendar for those responsible for homeland and global security; International Security Expo returns to Olympia in London on 30 September & 1 October 2025. 

With thousands of security professionals coming from all over the world, the event offers an exceptional opportunity to explore the latest products coming to market from a wide and varied selection of manufacturers and solution providers. Visitors will hear from a range of experts on key security issues, be able to check out live demonstrations and forge new connections throughout the industry.

Hear from industry & Government experts

On two theatres packed with essential talks – the Global Counter Terror & Security Summit (sponsored by ATG Access) and the International Security & Resilience Conference (sponsored by ATG Access, Blacksmiths Group & Smiths Detection, and in partnership with Resilience First) – a host of Government speakers and other experts will offer the type of content you won’t find elsewhere.

With Martyn’s Law having achieved Royal Assent in recent months, this is the ideal time to hear about the new legislation from those who wrote it and those who will be implementing and licensing it, including a panel featuring speakers from the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and Homeland Security Group.

Representatives from UK Government will use the event as an opportunity to provide updates on policy and the current state of homeland and international security, with many heads and senior representatives of government agencies and organisations talking. 

This year will see speakers from the Home Office, JSaRC (Joint Security & Resilience Centre), NaCTSO (National Counter Terrorism Security Office), ACE (Accelerated Capability Environment), DASA (Defence and Security Accelerator), College of Policing, Metropolitan Police Service and London Borough’s of Redbridge and Hounslow. For the last four years the UK Minister of State for Security has provided a keynote address, and he has been invited to speak again this year.

The ever-popular Realities of Terror thread returns, and this year it will take the form of a panel comprised of representatives from terror museums in France and Norway, as well as the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The team from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will also give separate talks, including Lessons from 9/11: Leading Through a Crisis, plus a behind-the-scenes look at the work they do.

A selection of other subjects covered across the Summit and Conference include hostile vehicle mitigation strategies in light of the recent increase in vehicle ramming incidents, emerging trends in both security and terror attacks, resilience including in critical national infrastructure and in organisations, breaking into new markets, plus panels looking at the human impact of those working in the security industry.

The home of global security innovation

Innovation is a key feature of International Security Expo, and the exhibition floor will be filled with companies who have new products and solutions that anyone heading up the security and resilience of critical national infrastructure, transport hubs, the public sector, businesses in the private sector, or is involved in homeland and international security, will want to see.

There will be over 300 global exhibiting brands represented, ranging from some of the biggest names in the industry to small up-and-coming innovators. These companies will represent all sectors of the industry, from screening & scanning and perimeter security, to access control, intelligence and drone & counter-drone, and much more besides.

This year also sees the return of the Innovation Award & Trail, highlighting some of the groundbreaking work exhibitors are doing. With a judging panel comprised of Advisory Council members and other industry leaders, the Trail will guide you to all of the shortlisted exhibitor stands, with the overall winner announced at the event.

Meet Government departments & agencies

A central feature of the event, this year’s Government Zone will feature stands from over 20 UK Government departments, agencies and organisations who are responsible for the various aspects of homeland security. Exhibitor include JSaRC, NaCTSO, Border Force, SIA, FCDO Services, SIA, Counter Terrorism Policing, ACE, RISC, DASA and Department for Business & Trade (DBT). Plus exhibiting for the first time are UK Resilience Academy, College of Policing and Immigration Enforcement. The Zone offers an unprecedented opportunity to engage with so many of these departments and agencies in one place over two-days.

Elsewhere, the Perimeter Protection Zone will be packed with manufacturers from this sector, whilst the Drone & Counter-UAV Trail and Aviation Security Trail will lead visitors to exhibitors specialising in these areas. The Counter Threat Pavilion and SCEG Pavilion will also showcase members from these specialist areas.

See products and techniques brought to life

Border Force will have a large presence within the Government Zone, running numerous demonstrations and showcasing the techniques they employ, including the Search of Container Centre of Excellence, the Small Boats Operational Command Joint Control Room, the National Dog Team and more besides. Plus there will be a separate Government-led demo, giving volunteers the opportunity to see if they’re ready to deal with a terrorist incident from a control room perspective.

The Live Immersive Arena, in partnership with CrisisCast, returns, presenting thrilling, narrative-driven scenarios showing how to deal with complex security incidents, utilising exhibitors products to show how they actually work in practice. This year a cyber attack will allow protestors to infiltrate an airfield and contaminate the water supply. Exhibitors whose products will be demonstrated include Airbox Systems, Axon, College of Policing, Hirsch and Pitagone.

The ever-popular LPCB Live Testing Lab will have a packed schedule of perimeter security products tested by forced-entry experts, showing why they have achieved LPCB certification. Teams from CBRNUK and Counter-EO UK will be running demonstrations in the Counter Threat Pavilion showing how they deal with suspected hazardous and chemical devices in a vehicle.

Where physical & cyber security converge

As cybersecurity becomes an ever increasing concern for those working in Government and the public sector, attendees can benefit from an all-encompassing view of both physical and cyber security thanks to International Cyber Expo in the adjacent National Hall. 

Over 100 global suppliers will showcase the latest technological advancements and cutting-edge solutions shaping our digital world. The Global Cyber Summit, Tech Hub Stage and Diversity & Skills Stage will assemble a fantastic selection of speakers to cover ongoing cyber threats, priorities and challenges, plus much more.
