Our Vision
This new ground-breaking conference is brought to you by Security Middle East magazine, the longest-established print title for the security industry in the Middle East region.
As the voice of the security industry, Security Middle East magazine is planning an event that delivers a unique opportunity to collaborate and connect with fellow senior security professionals and industry pioneers under one roof.
You will hear world-leading experts share best practice examples, discuss innovation within security enterprise, explore the challenges the industry is facing and debate the future market trends as the region develops.
Our magazine will collaborate with Saudi Arabia’s security pioneers of today, who are shaping tomorrow’s future, in order to paint a clearer picture for our industry to see exactly how Saudi Arabia’s leadership will pave the way for the next wave of security’s innovators and influencers across the globe. This high-level forum will inevitably contribute to the transformation of the security ecosystem in Saudi Arabia, the wider Middle East region and around the world.
Saudi Vision 2030
Saudi Arabia is looking to showcase innovation and technology that has never been seen before on the global stage. Investment from the likes of SAFE and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) into giga projects are positioning Saudi at the forefront of development, best practice and innovation. Our conference is perfectly aligned with the Saudi vision and we recognise that Saudi Arabia is leading the way in the Middle East when it comes to delivering on these projects.
