Intersec Saudi Arabia, one of the Kingdom’s leading trade exhibitions for the security, safety and fire protection sectors, has been postponed until October 2027, organiser Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia announced.

The event, which was due to be held in Riyadh in the coming weeks, has been rescheduled following what organisers described as a review of recent developments in Saudi Arabia. The decision was made in coordination with venue operators, government partners and local and international stakeholders.

According to Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia, the postponement is intended to prioritise the safety and security of exhibitors, visitors, partners, suppliers and staff, while maintaining the event’s international reach and commercial value.

Riham Sedik, Show Director of Intersec Saudi Arabia at Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said the decision followed a careful assessment of the situation and was made with the wellbeing of participants in mind.

She noted that since its launch in 2019, Intersec Saudi Arabia has developed into a key platform connecting stakeholders across the security, safety and fire protection industries in the Kingdom. The postponement, she added, would allow organisers to deliver a stronger event when it returns next year.

Nathan Waugh, Portfolio Director for Security, Technology and Production at Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said the organiser remained committed to supporting both the Saudi market and the event’s international exhibitor and visitor base. He said preparations were now focused on delivering a successful edition in 2027 that reflects the growth ambitions of Saudi Arabia’s security sector.

Intersec Saudi Arabia brings together manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and industry professionals from across the security, safety and fire protection industries.
