The three-day event will be held under the theme of ‘Connecting Governments, Society, and Business, Through Innovation, Leadership, and Excellence to Build Safer Communities and Ensure a More Resilient World’.
ISNR 2016 is set to host 500 exhibiting companies from 45 countries across 20,000 sq m of net indoor and outdoor exhibition space at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), said the organiser Reed Expo.
ISNR 2016 will host five exhibitions, more than 60 seminars, 10 live demonstrations, and new product and solution launches, Reed Expo stated.
Major General Dr. Ahmed Nasser Al Raisi, said, “ISNR Abu Dhabi 2016 is one of the main safety and security events both internationally and in the Middle East and North Africa, providing decision-makers from the public and private sectors with the latest concepts and security technologies in the protection of critical national infrastructure, and emergency preparedness and national resilience.
“This event is an important forum for general attendees and specialists to share experiences and knowledge, experience the newest and latest industry findings, and to learn about and experience the latest security equipment and solutions.”
The global event, hosted by the UAE every two years, has become an important platform to meet the growing global demand for homeland security solutions, to help Middle East governments to protect citizens and critical national infrastructure, and to ensure regional stability.
“Hosting the world’s largest specialised exhibition in homeland security and national resilience in 2016 in the capital confirms the UAE’s international standing, vision, and strong reputation in organising international exhibitions,” added Major General Al Raisi.
A highlight of the opening ceremony will be Aftershock II, an innovative live action scenario of emergency management.
