ASIA – GSA Exhibitions has claimed its counter terrorism event attracted a record 7,000 visitors, exhibitors and delegates making it the most successful show in the GSA Series since its launch in 2005.
According to the organiser of Global Security Asia 2013 (GSA 2013), the show is the leading counter terrorism, internal state security, law enforcement and civil defence exhibition and conference in the Asia Pacific. The show took place on 2-4 April at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre, Singapore.
“I am very happy that we had such a successful show this year with over 95 per cent of exhibitors expressing a high level of satisfaction with their participation and with the quality of the visitors,” said GSA Exhibitions managing director Andrew Marriott. “As Asia’s premier homeland security event, GSA 2013 identified likely threats in the future and called upon governments to prepare and develop appropriate responses to these future scenarios.”
Marriott added that the assembled international speakers and delegates discussed existing and emerging threats and debated solutions to these new challenges.
The next GSA event will return to Singapore in 2015. Details of the dates and venue have yet to be confirmed.
Also a success in the security industry, UBM recently reported a 41 per cent visitor increase at IFSEC and OSH, in Saudi Arabia.
