Julia Jacob, Head of Project, commented on the event's robust demand, stating, "The exceptionally high demand underlines the importance of personal interaction and technological innovation for the industry." In addition to the trade fair, Security Essen offers a comprehensive supporting programme addressing current challenges and trends in the security sector. This includes:

- Emergency services day (22 September)
- DNS Digital Networking Security Conference (22 and 23 September)
- European drone conference (23 and 24 September)

Strategic milestones and parallel events
The 2026 event marks a significant milestone by hosting the Euro Defence Expo (EUDEX) concurrently for the first time. This new trade fair targets defence industry stakeholders and underscores the increasing relevance of security policy issues in Europe. An exhibition area focused on civil protection and resilience will help connect civil security, defence, public authorities, and armed forces, expanding the professional network available to decision-makers.
International attention from NATO conference
The venue will further attract international interest, as it will also host the annual conference of the NATO Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC). This event is expected to draw high-ranking military officials seeking insight into the latest developments within the field.
