Intersec 2026 to Set the Stage for a Transformative Year

Intersec 2026 will cover 67,000 square metres and will welcome over 1,400 exhibitors from more than 60 countries. The scale indicates the level of demand; it also conveys a clear message: throughout our sectors, the demand for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and preparedness has reached unprecedented levels.

By: Dishan Isaac, Show Director, Intersec; E-mail: editorial@asmideast.com

As the 27th edition of Intersec approaches this January, attention is increasingly drawn to the significant shifts occurring across the global security, safety, and fire protection sectors. The rapid pace of geopolitical, technological, and environmental changes has intensified, emphasising the industry’s need for clarity, shared purpose, and a renewed commitment to resilience.

Intersec has always been shaped by the people who participate in it. The strategic thinkers, operational experts, innovators, responders, regulators, and industry leaders whose collective expertise defines the trajectory of our fields. This year, however, holds particular significance. The operational environment has undergone substantial changes, and the challenges and opportunities facing us are now more complex, interconnected, and consequential than ever before.

Unifying an Entire Ecosystem

At the core of Intersec is the ability to unify an entire ecosystem. The industries we serve, including commercial security, fire and rescue, emergency response, cybersecurity, health and safety, homeland security, and policing, once operated within clearer boundaries. Today, those boundaries have blurred. No organisation can think in silos, and neither can an event like ours. This reality has shaped the 2026 programme from the ground up, ensuring every feature reflects the interconnected world in which we operate.

The International Security Leaders’ Summit exemplifies one of the most significant platforms within Intersec. It has evolved into a forum where senior leaders address the realities of modern risk, drawing on practical experience rather than theoretical constructs. Discussions on crisis leadership are particularly relevant because they directly address the human aspect of the industry.

This year, we will hear from professionals like David Warham from Dubai Airports, who will bring this into sharp focus. His reflections on preparation, trust, and multi-agency collaboration offer lessons that extend far beyond aviation. The same applies to the voices joining us from national infrastructure, government ministries, global corporations, and academic institutions. These leaders are facing the same pressures many of our visitors encounter: talent shortages, digital convergence, aligning with national strategies, managing cultural complexity, and navigating the realities of AI and quantum technologies.

Strong Growth of the UAE’s Cybersecurity Market

In recent years, cybersecurity has evolved from a specialised discipline to the thread connecting every operational environment. At Intersec, this evolution is captured in the InCyber Briefing, which brings together global and regional specialists to tackle the next wave of digital risk. With the UAE’s cybersecurity market set to grow significantly by 2030, the conversations around supply-chain resilience, AI-powered threats, regulatory complexity, and board-level reporting are not abstract; they are urgent.

Fire and rescue professionals will also find a dedicated space to examine the challenges shaping their sector. Urban density, climate change, new materials, and rising expectations for building safety have all shifted the demands placed on fire services and life-safety specialists. The Fire & Rescue Conference explores AI-enabled fire prediction, evolving fire dynamics, human behaviour under stress, and global case studies that offer invaluable insights into preparedness.

Another defining feature this year is the emphasis on developing the control room of the future. The new Control Room Innovation Theatre demonstrates how AI, cognitive design, and human-centred environments can enhance operator performance and decision-making under pressure.

Of course, Intersec is also a marketplace, one of the largest and most diverse in the world for security, safety, and fire protection solutions. With over 1,400 exhibitors and a strong presence of international pavilions, the show floor is where global innovation becomes accessible. Whether it’s next-generation surveillance, advanced access control, cyber-physical convergence tools, fire-engineering technologies, PPE advancements, or emergency response equipment, the exhibition floor brings together practical solutions with future-focused thinking.

17 Categories of Intersec Awards

Celebrating the people behind these innovations is equally important. The Intersec Awards return this year with 17 categories, our most comprehensive line-up yet, recognising excellence across fire protection, safety, homeland security, commercial security, cybersecurity, consultancy, leadership, and Emirati talent. We have seen an encouraging rise in submissions, a sign that companies and individuals are eager to showcase their contributions to global best practice.

The aim for visitors at Intersec 2026 extends beyond technology and conference sessions. It is to foster clarity amidst prevailing uncertainty. Attendees are encouraged to establish connections with partners they can depend on in the long term. Ultimately, the goal is to leave with reinforced confidence, grounded in understanding and preparedness, and with a shared sense of purpose.

Our industries carry an extraordinary responsibility. We protect what matters most: people, communities, critical infrastructure, national capability, and the trust that underpins our societies. Intersec exists to support that mission.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Dubai World Trade Centre from 12–14 January 2026, and I look forward to shaping the next chapter of global security, safety, and fire protection together.

The Largest Footprint Yet

We operate in a world where complexity is no longer rare; it has become the norm. The rapid pace of technological change, global uncertainty, climate volatility, and converging physical–digital threats are pushing organisations to rethink their approaches to preparation, response, and innovation. In this context, Intersec 2026 has expanded not only in size but also in responsibility. This edition will cover 67,000 square metres, marking our largest footprint yet, and will welcome over 1,400 exhibitors from more than 60 countries. The scale indicates the level of demand; it also conveys a clear message: throughout our sectors, the demand for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and preparedness has reached unprecedented levels.

ISE 2026 ‘Hidden Order’: Matt Clark (UVA) Named Creative Keynote Speaker for ISE 2026

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) is proud to unveil Matt Clark, the renowned British artist and visionary founder of United Visual Artists (UVA), as the Creative Keynote speaker for ISE 2026. Celebrated for his pioneering work which combines art, technology, and architecture, Clark seamlessly fuses light, code, sound, and choreography to create stunning artworks at leading cultural institutions and major public venues worldwide. Bringing his signature ingenuity and bold thinking to the stage, Clark’s keynote will challenge audiences to push boundaries and rethink the relationship between art, technology, and the built environment at ISE 2026.

Taking place on Tuesday 3 February, 15:30- 16:15, in Room CC4.1, Clark will present his keynote ‘Hidden Order: Building a Performance-led Mapping at Casa Batlló, from Concept to Implementation’. This inspiring session will offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at ‘Hidden Order’, the stunning façade mapping commissioned and produced by Casa Batlló in collaboration with UVA, scheduled for 31 January and 1 February, just before ISE 2026 begins.

The commissioned artwork, ‘Hidden Order’, marks the 5th edition of Casa Batlló’s annual mapping, presented free to the people of Barcelona and established as one of the city’s most significant cultural events. It utilises the building as both subject and instrument, with the purpose of taking Gaudí’s radical legacy even further through inspiration and reinterpretation, drawing inspiration from Gaudí’s relationship with geometry and nature. Through light, motion, and sound, the façade is deconstructed and recomposed, with choreography and human movement serving as integral compositional elements. The work navigates the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, and between the human and the architecture, whilst responding to real-world constraints that shape both its visual language and technical design.

Clark’s keynote will serve as a case study of the Casa Batlló commission, from first impressions and concept through research, prototyping, content systems, technical design, show control, and onsite delivery. He will outline how UVA translates architectural logic into a controllable visual system, collaborating with a diverse team of technical artisans and specialists to carry the work from studio tests to realisation, and demonstrating how constraints ultimately shape the composition.

‘Hidden Order’ extends into Casa Batlló’s newly opened second-floor gallery, evolving into ‘Beyond the Façade’, a five-month site-specific exhibition that opens on 31 January and offers visitors an immersive experience of Clark’s work. This unique space within the iconic building provides an opportunity to explore the artistic process behind the mapping in depth, combining light, motion, and technology to reflect on the cycles of life and the interplay between human presence and architecture, allowing visitors to see themselves reflected in the work.

ICT: Different Ways to Upgrade to Smart Access Control

Many buildings and sites are running on access control and intrusion detection technology that is ten, maybe even fifteen years old. The hardware is still functional, doors open, alarms are set, but these legacy systems often act as roadblocks when a client wants to modernise their building management or bring new applications onboard.

The need for change is usually driven by compliance, security, or sustainability targets. However, like every infrastructure project, it had to be financed and the cost: the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) will define the feasibility and timeline of the new access control installation. Fortunately, upgrading doesn’t always have to be an “all-or-nothing” scenario.

How does access control improve operational efficiency?

Beyond enhancing security, modern access control is an enabler for operational efficiency and energy savings.

By unifying various systems into one central platform, customers can see a direct impact on their bottom line. For instance, an open access control system can automatically switch off air conditioning if a window is left open or turn off lights and arm an area, when no one is present.

In high-traffic environments, integrating the access control platform with turnstiles and lift systems, manages the flow of people badging in and directs them to the fastest lift for their destination. Saving a few minutes for thousands of people everyday amounts to significant productivity gains.

Is a full system replacement always necessary?

For new builds or extensions, a brand-new system is standard. But for retrofits on a tight budget, a full “rip and replace” isn’t the only option.

A smarter approach is a phased migration. A thorough assessment of the existing infrastructure will determine whether legacy equipment is compatible with modern controllers. This allows to upgrade the “brains” of the system while keeping the existing cabling and peripheral hardware.

Phased migration as the one offered by ICT decreases project costs and lowers the risk of disruption, a huge benefit if the organisation operates 24/7. The customer gets immediate access to new functionalities and third-party integrations supported by platforms like Protege GX, while the initial capital investment remains manageable.

How to ensure continuity during migration?

If a legacy system is running alongside a new one, how are the users managed? Is there a risk of database mismatch?

The critical point is ensuring the legacy and new access control servers are constantly synchronising data to avoid discrepancies in the user database which could lock people out or leave areas unsecured. ICT offers DataSync software specifically for this purpose, ensuring a seamless transition.

What financial factors should be considered?

The decision about which technology to select impacts not just the initial CAPEX, but the ongoing Operational Expenditures (OPEX).

Customers should understand the licensing models. Are there any recurring fees, is the cost capped over a certain number of licenses? They should know aboout the structure of the maintenance cost and upgrade cost.

Choosing an open technology that integrates with legacy equipment and third-party solutions offers financial protection. It means the system can scale and adapt to new requirements without needing another expensive overhaul in a few years.

Access control is a central pillar between security and operations. By helping organisations navigate the balance between necessary upgrades and available capital, it helps create a successful and affordable solution.

AziTrend: How WMS + VMS Integration Is Redefining Modern Logistics

In today’s economy, where speed and accuracy separate profit from loss, warehouses have become critical nodes of the supply chain. Yet the operational complexity—tens of thousands of SKUs, thousands of storage locations, and constant order flows—puts enormous pressure on logistics teams. This is where a new technological standard emerges: the integration of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) with Video Management Systems (VMS) through AZiGuard platform.

Why WMS + VMS Integration Matters

Traditional incident investigation in a warehouse can take hours or even days. A lost parcel, a picking error, or a delivery dispute consumes time, money, and reputation. By synchronizing WMS transaction data with the exact video moments in which those events occurred, AZiGuard turns complex processes into 2–3 minute verifications.

Key advantages include near-instant incident search, where an operator filters an event in the WMS and the VMS immediately displays the precise moment and camera angle for verification, turning what once took hours into a matter of minutes. Operational costs are reduced through fewer manual investigations, fewer disputes and fewer internal interventions, resulting in measurable savings, particularly in high-volume warehouses. At the same time, greater transparency and credibility are achieved as every transaction becomes verifiable with video proof, giving retailers, couriers, pharmacies and marketplace operators a clear, unbiased source of truth. Finally, higher customer and partner satisfaction follows from faster claim resolution, clearer responsibility and increased trust across the entire supply chain.

Case Study: When Volume Explodes, Precision Becomes Critical

A large online retailer uses WMS and VMS integration to instantly reconstruct the journey of a lost parcel—from packing and collection to courier handoff and delivery—cutting incident investigation times by more than 50% and eliminating unfounded claims. In another example, a pharmaceutical warehouse using pick-by-voice and a high-speed conveyor has integrated both databases with AZiGuard’s video streams, enabling operators to locate every conveyor feeding point instantly, regardless of speed.

Through the AZiGuard ActiveStock module, warehouses gain advanced control over accuracy, including rapid loss investigation, delivery dispute resolution, clear responsibility assignment and quality verification of picking and packing. For facilities handling more than 50,000 SKUs, this level of automation shifts from a “nice-to-have” feature to a mission-critical capability.

The Future: AI, Prediction, and Full Automation

As order volumes rise and margins compress, the fusion of operational data with video analytics becomes the backbone of modern logistics. The next step is already emerging: AI that predicts errors, optimizes workflows, and detects anomalies before they become operational costs.

Integrating WMS and VMS is no longer a technological upgrade—it’s a competitive necessity. For high-volume operations, solutions like AZiGuard do far more than improve visibility; they build warehouses that are safer, more transparent, and significantly more profitable.
