Securex West Africa is the only dedicated security exhibition in West Africa, encompassing fire and rescue, commercial, perimeter, homeland and cybersecurity.

The 2019 edition of Securex was the most successful yet. In 2020, Securex is expected to grow even larger, with the exhibition celebrating its 10-year anniversary. See more than 100 exhibitors over two days and join over 2500 professionals from more than 20 countries.

Securex West Africa takes place at the purpose-built exhibition venue, The Landmark Centre, on Victoria Island from the 17-18 March 2020. The event is held in Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria.

A high-level conference will be running alongside the exhibition and the programme will include technical classes, presentations and panel discussions hosted by industry-leading minds from across the region as well as international names. The conference is created in close collaboration with leading industry associations, commercial partners and ministries to ensure its relation to issues most relevant and vital for West Africa.

2020 will also welcome back the West African Cyber Security Summit (WACSS). A full day is dedicated to this high-level conference that will focus on analysing the most effective methods of cyber protection from growing threats posed by new technology such as the Internet of things, and up to 300 cybersecurity professionals from within the region will be in attendance.

Securex West Africa 2020 will also see the return of Firexpo, a dedicated fire and safety pavilion, that will be running alongside the exhibition.
