Niche Events has been operating for 6 years and organises business to business exhibitions and conferences in the specialised security and counter terrorism sector. The company’s aim is to deliver substantial conference programmes, addressing high level strategic issues within the market places that we operate, offer practical and technical information through a variety of seminars and workshops.
At the centre of all our events is an exhibition featuring the latest products, equipment and technologies. Our event formula creates a unique platform to provide business opportunities for exhibitors, visitors and conference delegates.
TranSec World Expo
In May 2002 Niche Events launched Air & Port Security Expo, which took place for the first time in Germany, December 2003, before moving to Brussels Expo in 2004. Focused on the aviation and maritime security sectors, Air & Port Security Expo grew to become a respected and established event in the global security calendar.
Following the 2006 edition, Air & Port Security Expo was re-launched and moved venue to Amsterdam. Under its new name and improved format, TranSec World Expo 2007 took place successfully in June 2007 and truly reflected all aspects of transportation security including, rail, highway and supply chain logistics in addition to its core sectors remaining as aviation and maritime security.
The next edition of TranSec World Expo will take place 25-26 June 2008 at the PTA Centre in Amsterdam and is set to be the best ever with an anticipated record level attendance. To ensure TranSec World Expo achieves this aim it now hosts two high-level Conferences alongside the exhibition with over 40 internationally recognised speakers and support from many of the industry’s key bodies inc. European Commission, NATO, International Maritime Organisation and World Customs Organisation. In addition, TranSec World Expo will have a series of free-to-attend technology workshops and a large-scale exhibition where over 100 dedicated vendors will showcase their latest security solutions.
TranSec India Expo
Following the 5th successful year of TranSec World Expo, in November 2007 Niche Events announced the launch of TranSec India Expo, to take place on 24-26 November 2008 in Mumbai. India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and its transportation infrastructure is developing at a phenomenal rate. This has been further boosted by upcoming major events including 2010 Commonwealth Games and 2011 Cricket World Cup.
TranSec India Expo will bring End Users together with Manufacturers and Integrators from Aviation, Maritime, Rail and Supply Chain Security sectors. TranSec India Expo will be a multi-dimensional event and like its sister event in Amsterdam and will have something to offer all types of attendees through its conference, specialised technology workshops and large-scale exhibition of security solutions dedicated to securing India’s transportation infrastructure.
Counter Terror Expo
Terrorism is not a new phenomenon. For instance, it was employed by pro- and antislavery activists in Kansas before the American Civil War, by anarchists in Tsarist Russia and the long running troubles with the IRA in Northern Ireland. Events including 9/11, Bali, Madrid, 7/7, 21/7 and the thwarted transatlantic plot of August 2006 and most recently the failed attacks on Haymarket and Glasgow Airport clearly demonstrate the persistent global terrorism threats. So many questions remain and answers sought as the international community grapples with the threat from terrorism.
Launched by Niche Events in January 2008, Counter Terror Expo 2009 will run on the 10th - 11th February 2009 at the QEII. The event has a vital role to play in fostering debate and helping to bring solutions to bear sooner rather than later. Counter Terror Expo will be the only major international Exhibition & Conference to take place in the UK for 2009 covering this critical sector.
