Sydney played host to security trade show Security 2011 Exhibition and Conference, now in its 26th year.

 

Security 2011 Exhibition addresses the complexities of personal, corporate and public security that recent security events such as; the London riots; News of the World phone hacking scandal; and the Madeleine Pulver bomb hoax brought to the centre of attention in Australia and around the world.

The event has been endorsed by the industry’s peak body, the Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL).

The first day of the expanded seminar program at Security 2011 Exhibition featured senior industry speakers including; Nick Klein from Klein & Co; Tom Sykes from the NBN; and Graham Ingram from AusCERT.

Mr Sykes outlined new business opportunities the National Broadband Network will bring to security operators, and encouraged them to explore next generation IP enabled services such as residential alarms, video monitoring and hosted CCTV.

The Attorney-General's Department opened the associated ASIAL Conference, calling on the private security sector to take precautions against natural disasters and other risks affecting security and business continuity.

Security 2011 Exhibition, is held from 24 – 26 August at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.
