Secutity Essen

Security Essen is a leading trade fair for security and fire protection, held biennially in September at the Messe Essen GmbH fairgrounds. Established for over five decades, this event has become the most important of its kind. It covers a broad range of topics including mechanical and digital security technologies, fire protection, video surveillance, IT security, and counter-terrorism measures. The fair serves as a platform for industry experts, decision-makers, and buyers from around the world to explore the latest products, innovations, and technologies.

The four-day event attracts an international audience of professionals who gather here to discover new solutions and receive detailed information about current and future security concepts. A particular focus is placed on the growing demands in IT security, which complement traditional topics such as access control and fire protection. This is reflected in numerous expert talks and forums dedicated to the current challenges and developments in cybersecurity.

A highlight is the Action Center, where visitors can experience technical innovations, including flying robots and security films, live in action. A Fire Protection Day with live demonstrations and an Education Day offer additional opportunities for professional development and youth engagement.

The fair is organized by Messe Essen GmbH, known for hosting high-quality events. The modern and accessible fairgrounds in Essen are ideal for meeting the diverse requirements of this international event. With increasing investments in security technology and a positive industry outlook, Security Essen remains a key date in the calendar of all security professionals.

The Secutity will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 22. September to Friday, 25. September 2026 in Essen.
