SUCCESS OF INFOSECURITY EUROPE 2003

Infosecurity Europe proved that the Information security market is going from strength to strength with over 8,728 serious buyers visiting the show, making the 8th Infosecurity Europe the best ever. There was a tangible buzz in the air as visitors packed the stands, seminars and keynotes as they updated themselves on the latest security services and solutions.

Some of the highlights from 2003 include:

Over 300 security vendors

22% of the visitors were director level (18% in 2002)

65% of the visitors had direct purchasing authority compared to 37% in 2002.

33% of visitors were from companies with over 1000 employees, and over 22% from companies that employ over 5000.

Tamar Beck, Group Exhibition Director IT / Comms, Reed Exhibitions said, "This is without doubt the best Infosecurity Europe show on record, our intensive marketing campaign certainly hit the spot. There were queues of visitors waiting to get into the show as soon as it opened. Our seminar and keynote programmes were very popular, with the demand for information so great that visitors had to stand in the aisles. Exhibitors' stands were packed with visitors not only looking to catch up on the latest solutions, but also to buy them. The demand for space for next year has been overwhelming with 70% of the exhibition space already sold."
