This year Counter-Terror Expo (CTX) and IFSEC International will co-locate for the first time, creating the UK’s largest security event. The two events will take place simultaneously from 19-21 May 2020 at the ExCeL, London.

IFSEC, one of UK and Europe’s most popular security events, will welcome tens of thousands of security professionals and provide valuable opportunities to meet with buyers and customers across the supply chain.
