- Intersec 2026 will unite global security, fire, safety and technology leaders in Dubai

- UAE’s US$1.29 billion cybersecurity market drives an urgent conversation around AI-driven resilience
As global security threats evolve at unprecedented speed, Intersec 2026 is gearing up to deliver one of its most forward-thinking editions yet — bridging the worlds of physical protection, cybersecurity and AI-led innovation.
Taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 14–16 January, the event is set against the backdrop of the UAE’s booming US$1.29 billion cybersecurity market and a growing need for resilience in critical infrastructure, public safety and smart city networks. Among the highlights will be the InCyber Briefing, a groundbreaking conference stream exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping digital defence strategies and the skills needed to keep pace.
Now in its 27th edition, the exhibition continues to serve as a global meeting point for experts across fire safety, homeland security, commercial and perimeter defence. Delegates can expect three packed days of live demonstrations, product launches and high-level discussions addressing the region’s fast-changing risk landscape.
A new feature this year is the launch of the Intersec Pulse Studio, hosted by Security & Fire Middle East. This groundbreaking new initiative will feature a stunning glass-box broadcast hub positioned right in the heart of the main concourse. We’ll be meeting face to face with keynote speakers, government dignitaries and global thought leaders for raw, real-time conversations that dive deeper into the hottest topics shaping our industry’s future.
Confirmed interviewees include Dr Humaid Al Ali (UAE Civil Defense), Dania Al Ahami (Design Confidence), Malcolm Smith (Royal Commission AlUla), Waleed Abdulrahman (NEOM), Capt. Eng. Salman Salah Albuflasa (Bahrain Civil Defense) and John Dunne (Red Sea Global).
Filmed during the show and available post-event throughout 2026, these exclusive sessions will unpack actionable insights, emerging threats and bold innovations.
With its blend of innovation, collaboration and strategic dialogue, Intersec 2026 is set to reaffirm its role as a catalyst for secure, sustainable development across the Middle East and beyond.
