TranSec World Expo comes to RAI Amsterdam. With a fresh new look and expanded conference and exhibition programme, TranSec World Expo, the premier event in the transportation security calendar, opens at the prestigious RAI Amsterdam, 3–4 June 2009.
TranSec World Expo this year hosts the world’s key decision makers and opinion formers in the transportation security arena for two full days of debate in three main conference programmes, will deliver in excess of thirty dedicated specialist workshops and also support one of the most extensive exhibitions of technology from leading vendors globally.
“TranSec World Expo is now in it’s 7th successful year and our decision to expand the programme of events reflects the fact the transportation sector remains a high profile and high value target for extremists,” says Peter Jones, Managing Director, TranSec World Expo. “Big questions still remain to be answered over how to best protect airlines and airports from new and unforeseen methods of attack; to prevent acts of wanton violence against innocents using mass transit systems and to rid the high seas of acts of piracy. These are all areas for much debate at TranSec World Expo.”
The most recent attack against transport and hotel facilities in Mumbai, India, demonstrates succinctly that acts of terrorism remain a potent threat to the safety and wellbeing of the travelling public. It is against this backdrop that TranSec World Expo once again gathers decision makers, opinion formers and the transportation sector together to seek solutions to the most intractable problems faced today.
Key themes over the two days of TranSec World Expo include protecting passengers and cargo from international terrorism, organised crime including drug trafficking and people smuggling and the potentially growing threat presented by weapons of mass destruction.
Free to attend workshops include the specialised areas of CCTV & Intrusion Detection; Baggage & Cargo Screening, Passenger Screening and Biometrics & Access Control to name but a few.
The exhibition features technology from over 100 of the leading vendors worldwide. TranSec World Expo will be held in the new and stunning RAI Elicium in Amsterdam. Located on Congress Square and between the two exhibition halls and the congress centre, this is the premier event and exhibition space in the Netherlands.
With the RAI Elicium just fifteen minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol and boasting fast metro connections to Amsterdam and Den Haag for high speed rail connections across Europe, TranSec World Expo is the best connected event in the transportation security calendar.
