Home Office Security Minister to open Transport Security Expo
An MP since 1997, Mr Hayes has held a number of shadow ministerial and Government roles, including Minister of State at the Department for Transport and senior Parliamentary adviser to the Prime Minister.
Transport Security Expo, now in its 13th edition, has become the main global platform bringing government, industry & academia together to counter the threat against our transportation networks. Sectors covered by the event include Aviation Security, Maritime Security, Rail Security, Major Events Transport Security, Secure Transportation and Border Security.
Attracting over 4,500 international security professionals last year as well as 200 leading brand name global exhibitors, over 30 official Government-hosted country delegations and over 15 UK Stakeholder Agency Delegations, the event provides a high-level environment for decision makers and influencers with significant purchasing power.
Continually evolving to reflect both the changing security landscape and the industry developments designed to meet emerging threats, Transport Security Expo will feature a number of new initiatives this year, including:
Future Borders Experience
The Future Borders Experience will provide a unique insight into next generation border security capability both through its exhibition features and its dedicated Presentation Theatre.
World of Perimeter Security
World Of Perimeter Security will make Transport Security Expo the first ever trade show to offer a complete end-to-end integrated solution to protecting critical and sensitive sites, delivered in a single interactive tour.
VIP & International Delegations Lounge
The International Delegations Lounge, co-ordinated with the assistance of the Home Office and UKTI DSO, will be at the heart of the Expo, ready to welcome over 30 official Government-hosted delegations.
Security Vehicles Zone
From vehicles designed to transport cash and valuables to high-end luxury limousines protecting VIPs and Diplomats, the Security Vehicles Zone will be the largest ever at Transport Security Expo.
Supporting the exhibition will be a conference programme, designed in close collaboration with an expert Advisory Board. Open to everyone to attend, free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis, the sessions will feature some of the most renowned opinion leaders in the industry.
Peter Jones, CEO of Transport Security Expo’s organisers, Nineteen Events, commented: “This is an important milestone in the history of Transport Security Expo. This will be the first time the event has been officially opened by a Minister of State and it reflects the closeness with which we are now working with Government - including the Home Office and UKTI DSO - and the support they are providing, including the official invitation of international delegations to the event”.
Registration for Transport Security Expo is free of charge and includes access to the exhibition as well as all conferences and workshops and the evening networking reception hosted on the 2nd December.
