Postive comments
The exhibitors also expressed their appreciation
of the show. "This was the best Sectech ever.
We are very satisfied," said Kristina Tullberg,
PR manager at the camera manufacturer Axis
Communicatios.
It was not just the exhibition that worked
really well, two of the conferences also received
the highest praise from many of the visitors.
The transport security conference, organised by
SecurityUser.com and the think tank SNOS,
was one of them. The other was a conference
about Security-as-a-Service where examples
of how to obtain Security-as-a-Service as a
functioning business model from other sectors
were discussed.
BP Chairman awarded
Just before the banquet, Carl-Henric Svanberg,
businessman and current Chairman of BP and
Volvo, entered the show and was awarded the
Lifetime Achievement Award, an award from
the Detektor magazine. He was given the award
on behalf of his successful leadership within Se-
curitas, but mainly for his role as CEO for the
access control company Assa Abloy during the
years of 1994-2003. At Assa Abloy he played an
important part in the company´s journey from
a 3 billion SEK turnover to a 27 billion SEK
turnover.
Banquet
On the evening of the first day the Security
Banquet was held with the prize ceremony for
the Detektor International Award. The Detektor
International Award is designed to reward and
encourage research and development within the
security technology field. See pages 16 for more
information about the award. The banquet was
fully booked with guests from all over Sweden
and international security people, for example
from England, the Netherlands and Belgium.
The next Sectech show will be held in
Copenhagen on 12-13 November 2014. n
Sectech took place at the Rica Talk
Hotel Stockholm on 22-23 October
2013. The show is a complement to the tra-
ditional exhibitions with a different concept.
It is an exhibition and a seminar programme
in a compact format. The exhibition and
the seminars are focused entirely on security
technologies.
Meeting place
The show is the meeting point for suppliers,
installers, consultants and end user purchas-
ing managers within the field of security.
Exhibitors and visitors can interact and update
themselves on the latest developments.
The record breaking attendance of the
2013 show might not come as a surprise to
the organisers since the show´s visitor num-
bers have increased at every event since the
first show back in 2001. The previous record
was, of course, from the 2011 show when
2,311 visitors came to Sectech.
"We are happy that our compact arrange-
ment can attract so many professional buyers
and users of products and services within the
security area. It is these people who set the
high quality of the show," says Deniz Baykal,
project manager for Sectech and sales manager
at AR Media International, who together with
Stockholm International Fairs organise the
show.
with 2,344 visitors during the
two exhibition days the compact
Swedish security show Sectech
Expo & Seminars 2013 in Stock-
holm was the most well visited
ever in the history of the event.
And most importantly, the quality
of the show was extremely high,
judging from comments from
exhibitors and visitors.
