The UK's most extensive and steadfastest security event
Anticipate London presents up-to-date information on the newest products, emerging trends and best practices in the safety and security industry, and access control. You will see established and emerging companies in the industry present their best products and services. The international trade fair has been a linchpin right from the start in 1988 and today combines several influential events: Facilities Show, IFSEC, FIREX International and Safety & Health Expo (SHExpo).
What trade visitors come to see at the exhibition grounds is the incredible variety of products – CCTV, security systems, video surveillance systems, alarm systems, internet security systems, security locks, biometrics, and fire protection systems.

Anticipate London is an annual event of great importance that is held in London, UK around late spring, and early summer–the months of May and June have been known to be when the event happens. Editions last for three days in total and are the effort of official organiser UBM Live.
The modern ExCeL London is quite naturally the host venue and entrance is given only to trade visitors. The working hours are from 10:00 am until 17:00 pm, but those are subject to change once the official program is finalised. The easiest way to reach ExCeL London is to drive, but if you do not have a car, there are other ways. London is the city of trains, so you have the metro, the DLR and the overground train system to choose from.
IFSC is a highly localised event that sees over 500 exhibitors, who cater to the needs of 27,000 trade visitors and counting. This might not seem like a lot, but you have to take into account the quality of the audience. Roughly 70% of all visitors are attending IFSC to source new products–that is great news for all exhibitors. What makes this number all the juicier is knowing that together they command the buying power of over £23 billion. That’s more than enough reason to make the trip to London.
As to the matter of who attends, there are four major groups of visitors–installers, distributors, integrators and end-users. Within these four major groups, you have a variety of posts and positions like general managers, CEOs, heads of departments, premier engineers and strategy directors!
