Exhibition organiser Informa has announced that the co-located exhibitions; Facilities Show, FIREX, IFSEC and Safety & Health Expo will now become part of an event called Anticipate London, taking place from the 2nd to the 4th December 2024 at ExCeL London.
Anticipate London emerged as a result of conversations with members of a future-focused advisory board which includes leaders in security, safety, FM and property from both FTSE 250 organisations and the wider public sector.
These professionals find themselves navigating a common landscape of challenges and opportunities such as tech innovation and digitalisation, emerging societal and global risks, climate change and government legislation.
Through these discussions, it became evident that to better address these macro-level issues, a new forum was needed to bring leaders of property and people together and showcase solutions that create a safer, smarter future.
Chris Edwards, Group Director of Anticipate London commented, “Our new exhibition for 2024 embraces a fundamental shift in the markets we serve, where many historically defined job roles and responsibilities have become blurred. Global events such as COVID-19, as well as changes in work patterns and climate change have catapulted people and property leaders to the forefront of business strategy.
Exhibitors and long-running event partners of the legacy four events should be reassured that our technical seminars will still exist as they always have, and will continue to attract their core audiences, but Anticipate London will cater for the future-facing professional interested in the bigger picture too.”
While Anticipate London is based in the UK’s capital, both the audience and the topics covered will have an international focus, with global themes represented.
