Perimeter Protection Congress 2012: Get the benefit of positive experiences
- The Verband für Sicherheitstechnik (VfS) (Association for Security Technology) is organising a two-day congress concurrent with the Perimeter Protection trade fair
On 17 and 18 January 2012 in Nuremberg, prominent speakers from industrial enterprises and design agencies will discuss solutions for optimal perimeter protection. The target audience for the two-day congress includes operators, planners and government authorities responsible for security solutions at the perimeters of business, industry and public facilities. Professionals responsible for the security of large corporations, such as BASF and Telekom, will give presentations on the interaction of mechanical and electronic security systems from the point of view of users. The congress, which is taking place concurrently with the first two days of the Perimeter Protection trade fair (17 to 19 January 2012), is being organised by the Verband für Sicherheitstechnik (VfS). Peter Reithmeier, Managing Director of VfS: "Efficient perimeter security requires a combination of various techniques that are individually customised to the property and the protection objectives. Thus it's the users who have the say at this congress, and participants will benefit from their experience."
"We are in the middle of preparations and are currently holding final discussions with potential speakers, highly respected security technology planners and authorities from government security agencies," says Reithmeier. He attributes the remarkable interest in the Perimeter Protection Congress to the great need for knowledge and information on the topic. After all, every company is interested in securing its buildings and grounds from external attacks and unwelcome intrusions. No matter whether it's an airport, a prison, large pharmaceutical or chemical group – perimeter protection of highly sensitive properties is indispensable. The various requirements of projects constantly create new challenges and expectations. Another target audience for the congress are manufacturers of security technology: "Reports from users provide excellent indicators of which areas of perimeter protection work well and where improvements might be needed. For manufacturers the presentations offer an ideal opportunity to gather ideas and adapt their techniques." Thorsten Böhm, project manager for the NürnbergMesse, also sees the congress as an ideal complement to the trade fair: "In specialist presentations aimed at a broad audience, Perimeter Protection visitors will learn from users and planners what they should pay attention to in building security. Afterwards they can exchange information in conversations with exhibitors and get tailor-made solutions from the companies. The trade fair and congress represent a perfect combination of knowledge transfer, supply and demand." From 1 November 2011, the current congress programme will be available at www.perimeter-protection.de and www.vfs-hh.de.
