Fire Buyer International takes a deep dive into what to expect from the newly established Anticipate London 2024, taking place in December

Anticipate London, scheduled for December 2-4, 2024, at ExCeL London, stands as a crucial convergence point for professionals across safety, security, and property sectors. This event, emerging from the collaboration of longstanding shows like IFSEC, FIREX, Safety & Health Expo, and the Facilities Show, promises to be a comprehensive platform for industry leaders to assess the past year’s progress and set the agenda for the upcoming year.

Chris Edwards, the Group Director, encapsulates the event’s essence by stating, “Anticipate London will become the full stop to everyone’s year, looking back at 12 months of changes in safety, security and property and discussing what that means for the coming year.” This reflects the event’s goal to serve as both a retrospective and a strategic forward-look for professionals navigating the evolving landscapes of their industries.

Anticipate London is more than just a trade show; it’s a thought-leadership platform where pressing issues such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns, artificial intelligence, and business resilience amidst global uncertainties are explored. The event is set to feature hundreds of exhibitors showcasing smart, integrated technology solutions across security, fire safety, facilities management, and health & safety domains, addressing the complex needs of today’s industry landscapes.

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage in three days filled with keynotes, panels, and case studies from leading voices in the industry. This includes insights on navigating regulatory changes, technological advancements, and climate concerns, making it an essential stop for those looking to future-proof their operations and strategies.

In addition to its extensive exhibition space and keynote sessions, Anticipate London will offer attendees an interactive experience with live demonstrations, workshops, and hands-on product trials. These practical sessions are designed to provide deeper insights into the latest technologies and techniques in the fields of security, safety, and property management. The event aims to cater to the needs of a diverse audience, from security managers and fire safety officers to facilities and property professionals, ensuring there’s something valuable for everyone.

Moreover, the event will focus heavily on innovation, with a dedicated Innovation Theatre where new products, technologies, and strategies will be unveiled. This spotlight on innovation is crucial as it aligns with the industry’s rapid adoption of IoT, AI, and smart building technologies, which are set to redefine the parameters of security and safety measures.

The commitment to advancing industry knowledge is further demonstrated through specialised seminars tailored to distinct sectors within the broader industry. These seminars aim to tackle specific challenges and offer solutions that attendees can implement in their operations immediately.

Networking also plays a central role at Anticipate London, where property and people leaders are expected to forge new connections, share insights, and potentially seal business deals. The co-located nature of the event allows for a richer, more diverse interaction among participants from various facets of the industry, offering a holistic view and greater collaborative opportunities.

Why attend? Anticipate London is set to unlock key industry insights, offer unparalleled networking opportunities, and provide access to the latest innovations that could redefine industry standards. It’s a pivotal arena for those eager to lead at the edge of property and people safety and security, ensuring attendees leave with valuable tools, contacts, and strategies to thrive in an uncertain future.

As the event approaches, the anticipation builds not just for the exchange of knowledge and solutions, but for shaping the future of how we think about and manage the intertwined aspects of safety, security, and property management in our societies.
