Infosecurity Europe 2006, Europe’s number one dedicated information security event, increased its visitor numbers by 7% at Olympia’s Grand Hall on 25 – 27 April. The three day show attracted 11,635 visitors, compared to 10,784 in 2005, to the stands of 290 exhibitors from across the information security industry.
At a time when information security is of increasing importance to businesses of all sizes, Infosecurity Europe provided the ideal forum for visitors to take an in-depth look at some of the industry’s hottest issues; so much so, that many took the opportunity to return to Olympia for a second day. Excellent networking opportunities and an extensive keynote presentation programme brought together the industry’s leading independent experts, government officials and end users in the Grand Hall at Olympia.
Claire Sellick, Event Director, Reed Exhibitions, commented; “Infosecurity Europe has become known as the ‘must attend’ event for the industry and Olympia provides a suitably a high profile setting in which our exhibitors can showcase their products and services. The venue’s location is ideal for our international visitors and exhibitors, with excellent transport links and a central London location which is easy to get to from anywhere in the world.”
Jeremy Rees, EC&O Venues Exhibition Sales Director, said; “The exhibition makes brilliant use of Olympia’s facilities, combining purpose-built seminar theatres on the show floor with the hall’s private meeting rooms to create a content-rich event. I’m delighted that Infosecurity Europe enjoys continued growth and success at Olympia and I now believe that it is the largest IT show in the country and arguably the largest information security event in Europe. I look forward to welcoming the show back next year.”
