Intersec Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom’s premier platform for security, safety, and fire protection industries, will be held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Minister of Interior, in association with the General Directorate of Civil Defense.

Organised by 1st Arabia and licensed by Messe Frankfurt, the event will return to the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre (RICEC) from 29 September to 1 October. This year marks the largest edition to date, with over 370 exhibitors and more than 27,000 visitors expected.

Focused on Saudi market needs, Intersec Saudi Arabia brings together global innovators, government leaders, and industry pioneers to strengthen national resilience and enable future growth.

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said, “Now in its seventh edition, Intersec Saudi Arabia provides a vital platform for giga project leaders, critical infrastructure buyers, and private sector decision makers to meet, build trusted partnerships, and drive progress across safety, security, and fire protection industries.”

The event now features CPD-certified content theatres. The highly anticipated Future Security Summit, powered by ASIS International Dhahran Chapter, returns to explore critical trends in public safety and national resilience. Topics include AI-driven surveillance, predictive policing, mega-event protection, and critical infrastructure security.

Abdullah S. Alshemaly, Chairman of ASIS International Dhahran Chapter, said, “As national development in Saudi Arabia accelerates, public and private sectors are scaling up investments in advanced surveillance, cyber defence, and critical infrastructure protection. The Future Security Summit offers a timely platform to explore technologies, partnerships, and policies reshaping the regional security industry.”

Also returning is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit, which will cover smart city firefighting, high-rise rescue, HAZMAT response, and regional disaster collaboration. Key themes include talent investment in fire protection and safeguarding giga-projects during large-scale events.

Riham Sedik, Exhibition Director at Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, “With giga-projects such as NEOM, Red Sea Global, North Pole Riyadh, and Qiddiya, Intersec Saudi Arabia offers access to one of the world’s fastest-growing markets. Exhibitors can engage with over 27,000 buyers and gain insights through our content theatres.”
