Expoprotection Sécurité 2021 is a great success

This particularly targeted audience came to discover the new products presented by the 167 solution providers present compared to 150 in 2019, an increase of 11%. Indeed, a real springboard for innovation, Expoprotection Sécurité has devoted, again this year, a large section to the technologies, solutions and services developed by the exhibitors, some of which were honored during the Expoprotection Sécurité Awards. Finally, the show's hybrid formula recorded its first results: nearly 40% of registered visitors activated their account on Expoprotection Sécurité Online.

“We are obviously very happy with the results recorded by this first edition of Expoprotection Sécurité. Beyond the "business" atmosphere that marked these three days, I note that we were able to offer a wider but above all richer offer than on APS 2019 by notably welcoming Cyber ​​prevention and Fire Prevention and Protection alongside the Safety and Security offer. In terms of audience, visits were equivalent to 2019, despite the Covid context, even though many foreign visitors were unable to make it to the show due to the travel restrictions still in force. Conversely, we recorded strong growth in visitors from the provinces, which underlines the attractiveness of the show and the need for physical reconnection of players in a still very dynamic security market. Alternating with Expoprotection, the risk prevention and control exhibition held in even years, Expoprotection Sécurité allows us to offer a quality meeting every year in France, in line with the evolutions of the Security mission. Security ", underlines Jean-François Sol Dourdin, Director of the Show.

They talk about their experience on Expoprotection Sécurité 2021 ...

"Proximity - Efficiency - Quality"

“We are only 2 years old and we are very satisfied with this first experience and, in particular, the proximity with the distributors who come to us for once. This represents a precious saving of time and energy, added to that the proximity with the very efficient and pleasant organizational teams. We will come back to the next edition » Steve Tenneroni and Jean-Baptiste Dozolme, Co-Founders - DOEMOS Fire Safety Plans

"The opportunity to start collaborations that last over time"

“It's a success with nearly 1 contacts registered in 200 days. We were already present on APS 3 and 2017 and there are clearly more people than 2019 years ago. Expoprotection Sécurité enables usability with interlocutors and offers the possibility of getting to know people who are not always referenced in certain groups or databases. In addition, starting the meetings at the show allows us to start collaborations that last over time ” Philippe Leroux, Sales Manager - Smart SD

“We have been there since the creation of the show! "

“We are very satisfied! We have been a long-standing client since the creation of the APS trade fair and today on Expoprotection Sécurité. We had more than 620 visitors over 3 days, interesting people and interested in our products ”. Justine Pauper Marketing Manager - NEUTRONIC

"A wise location - easy contacts"

The location of our booth right in front of the entrance was particularly good. Customers naturally came to see Spot, the little robot dog from Intuitive Robots, which facilitated contact with the teams who were able to promote the group's other technological partners. We were able to present in an optimal way the convergence of our security systems ” Jean-Marie De Troy, Sales Director France - HIKVISION
