A busy schedule of initiatives and opportunities for professional development, organized in collaboration with specialized editors and associations, is about to be finalized for this year’s Sicurezza. Preparation at the Fiera Milano for the event from 15 to 17 November 2017 is proceeding smoothly. The event already counts over 250 companies occupying the historical pavilions 5 and 7 while the third one (Pav. 3) is growing. This edition will feature new events and confirm other successful ones. The focus will be on the important and current topic of fire-fighting, from the detection of fire to its suppression. The exhibition area set up in collaboration with Uman – the Italian Association of Security and Fire-fighting Companies federated Anima/Confindustria – will collect the latest innovations on the market to promote professionals’ development and training. The event will take place simultaneously with Smart Building Expo, a project providing an overview of the new all-digital smart building concept. Audit privacy is this year’s brand new initiative in the Security corner: visitors and exhibitors can obtain (free of charge) a preliminary verification in compliance with the new European Regulation which will enter into force on 25 May 2018 together with the penalty package. The initiative will be coordinated by Ethos Academy, which has created a team of independent expert professionals. If IoT, smart cities, smart buildings, smart mobility, M2M, Industry 4.0, cyber-attacks and privacy are today’s main topics, S News’ talk shows will provide a new interpretation, which investigates their correlations, analyzing the risks, possible weaknesses and inevitable threats. Being aware of what lies behind the evolution of these systems will help us provide suitable protection systems for data, people, cities and the entire system. Once again, UAVs (Unmanned aerial vehicles) will have their own dedicated area. Dedicated solutions for security in shops, shopping centers and retail distribution will be shown and provide an opportunity for retail professionals and technology producers to exchange their views and get an overview of tailor-made outlet solutions and dedicated vertical solutions. In brief, it will be the place where new ideas meet new requirements.
