Since their launches in 2019 and 2016 respectively, The Security Event (TSE) and Fire Safety Event (FSE) have experienced exceptional growth. Each year, thousands of industry professionals now travel from across the UK to the NEC Birmingham, firmly establishing TSE and FSE as the UK’s leading annual meeting place for the security and fire industries.

Building on this continued success, both TSE & FSE have rightfully earned strong international recognition and are increasingly attracting European integrators, consultants, specifiers and end users seeking innovation, insight and valuable industry connections. This evolution into recognised European brands reflects that growing influence, while supporting a long-term vision to become the leading destination for the wider European market.

Importantly, the move signals expansion of vision, not relocation. The Security Event and the Fire Safety Event will remain firmly rooted at the NEC Birmingham, with the UK market continuing to sit at the heart of both shows. As the bedrock of their success, organisers of TSE & FSE, Nineteen Group note that the UK industry remains central to the events’ future ambitions.

Nineteen Group sees significant opportunity to welcome even more visitors from European markets, many of which lack a dedicated trade event of this scale serving their respective country / region. This next phase is set to further enrich the experience of all our stakeholders, enhance collaboration, drive innovation, opening new export opportunities and expand the community's reach.

Nineteen Groups, Group Managing Director, Tristan Norman commented “From humble beginnings, The Security & Fire Safety Events have evolved into some of the most significant exhibitions in the global calendar for the industries they serve. This repositioning reflects both their continued growth and increasing importance and we look forward to further establishing these events as world-leading trade shows.”

Commenting on the evolution of the brands, following his recent promotion to Group Event Director across the portfolio, Peter Poole said:

“The direction of a trade show is shaped by the industry it serves and our brand evolution is designed to reflect that journey. The growth of both events has been phenomenal in a relatively short period of time and the continued support we receive from the UK is something we deeply value. The UK remains hugely important to us and this repositioning has been carefully aligned with the growing interest we are seeing from across Europe”

“We are entering an exciting new phase, reinforcing TSE and FSE as the UK’s premier events while establishing them as the key hub for the European community, right here at the heart of the UK at the NEC Birmingham. I’m incredibly excited about the additional value this will bring to our partners”

With hundreds of global leading brands, influential speakers, live demonstrations, networking opportunities and sector-leading thought leadership, the events have become known for their strong sense of community and culture. After all, trade shows should inspire as much as they inform.
