The Security Event 2026 brings together the full spectrum of the security industry at the NEC Birmingham, UK, from 28 – 30 April 2026. Designed by the industry for the industry, the three‑day exhibition targets manufacturers, distributors, installers, integrators, consultants and end‑users, as well as the 17 500+ security professionals who attend to source new solutions, expand their networks and stay current with sector developments. Over 450 global leading manufacturers, suppliers and service providers will exhibit, offering hands‑on access to more than 10 000 innovative products and solutions from the world’s leading security brands. Attendees can meet face‑to‑face with key experts, watch live product demonstrations and gather the information required to fulfil any security project requirement.

The event’s education programme is a free‑to‑attend, accredited CPD offering that runs alongside the exhibition. Seminars, case‑study presentations and workshops are delivered by the industry’s leading experts, covering the latest developments in commercial, enterprise and domestic security, emerging technologies, risk‑management strategies and real‑world implementation challenges. The CPD schedule is structured to ensure participants leave with up‑to‑date knowledge and practical insights that can be applied immediately in their organisations.

Networking is woven throughout the three days, with dedicated initiatives and after‑hours drinks designed to foster new partnerships and strengthen existing relationships. The format combines a large‑scale exhibition floor, where visitors can explore product zones and engage directly with supplier teams, with a robust conference track that includes accredited sessions and interactive workshops. The event also highlights the broader Safety & Security Event Series, underscoring its role as Europe’s leading commercial, enterprise and domestic security gathering.

Key goals of The Security Event 2026 are to showcase the latest security products and technologies, provide a platform for hands‑on product evaluation, deliver high‑quality educational content that meets CPD requirements, and facilitate meaningful networking among professionals across the security value chain. By uniting manufacturers, service providers, integrators and end‑users under one roof, the event creates a comprehensive environment for knowledge exchange, business development and the advancement of security solutions throughout Europe.
