Security Exhibition & Conference is Australia’s leading platform dedicated to bringing the full spectrum of suppliers, industry professionals and end users to connect and create profitable opportunities. In 2026, Fire Security Expo will launch alongside Security Exhibition & Conference. Fire Security Expo is Australia’s dedicated fire protection marketplace – built for the people protecting Australia’s buildings, assets and critical infrastructure. The Event App puts lead capture directly in your hands on the show floor. Scan badges instantly Point your device at a visitor's badge to capture their contact details in real time. No paper, no manual data entry, no leads falling through the cracks at the end of a busy day on stand. Add notes as you go Attach notes to each lead at the point of capture. Record what they're looking for, what you discussed, or how you want to follow up β€” while the conversation is still fresh. Across three days security and fire security decision-makers from across Australia will walk the exhibition floor. As an exhibitor, this is your prime opportunity to see products side by side and do more business than you would in six months of supplier meetings. The App is your essential tool for capturing new leads. Download the app, log in with your exhibitor credentials, and arrive ready to scan. 2–4 September | ICC Sydney
