Security Exhibition & Conference Sydney

The Security Exhibition & Conference is Australia’s leading trade fair for modern security technologies and serves as a central meeting point for all those seeking innovative solutions to protect against physical and digital threats. Commonly referred to as “SEC”, the event offers a unique platform for showcasing the latest developments and groundbreaking technologies in security, surveillance, and access control. Each year, the internationally renowned International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney opens its doors to the SEC, creating an inspiring setting in the heart of the city.

Organised by Diversified Communications Australia, the SEC seamlessly combines a classic exhibition format with a high-calibre conference specifically aimed at industry professionals, decision-makers, security managers, and technology enthusiasts. The event is renowned for providing practical insights into all areas of the security industry. It addresses both physical security topics such as access control, perimeter protection, and biometric identification, as well as cyber and information security, video surveillance, intelligent building technology, drone and robotics solutions, and advanced applications in artificial intelligence and data analytics. Companies from a wide range of sectors—including energy, transportation, critical infrastructure, government, financial services, facility management, and IT—present their latest products, services, and best practices. Offerings range from traditional security solutions such as locks, safes, and CCTV systems to innovative cyber defense tools, AI-powered analytics, network management, and smart building technologies.

Within Australia, the SEC is regarded as a key driver and benchmark for current trends in the security industry. It brings together local and international market leaders, start-ups, and thought leaders. The conference itself regularly sets new standards with topics addressing major trends such as geopolitics, AI-driven threats, zero-trust architectures, the protection of critical infrastructure, ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence, as well as sustainability and resilience. Special formats, such as the Cyber Pavilion, the Start-up Zone with interactive live demonstrations, and the “Security Industry State of Play” sessions, foster innovation, networking, and knowledge transfer.

Most attendees come from the fields of security, IT, facility management, public service, and industry. Decision-makers from politics and business also use the opportunity to exchange views on current developments and best practices. As a modern venue with state-of-the-art infrastructure, a central location, and excellent transport connections, ICC Sydney underlines the importance of the SEC for Sydney as a leading technology and innovation hub in the Asia-Pacific region.

Overall, the Security Exhibition & Conference combines cutting-edge security technologies with in-depth industry expertise, providing exhibitors and visitors with first-class access to trends, innovations, and an exclusive network. With its outstanding waterfront location, contemporary facilities, and excellent accessibility, ICC Sydney ensures that attending the event is a special experience, highlighting Sydney each year as Australia’s centre for security and future technologies.
