SECON & eGISEC 2021 Exhibition Tour

A SAFE EXHIBITION FOR ALL

In order to hold a safe exhibition, the fair manager has clearly marked the registration desk, display space, and the exhibition hall. Thermal imaging cameras have been installed at the registration desks, checking the temperature of each visitor. Footprint stickers on the floor enables the visitors to keep 1m social distance whilst waiting in the registration line. To prevent any inconvenience, those not wearing masks will be continuously informed.

Routes have been planned and monitored so that physical contact between exhibitors and visitors are kept at minimum. Due to the large number of visitors, thermal imaging cameras have been installed at exhibition entrances/exits, along with an untact quarantine gate. This gate prevents the spread of viruses and the inflow of fine dust through antiseptic aerosolization of clothing and air shower.

DIVERSE BUSINESS PROGRAMS FOR CONSUMERS AND SUPPLIERS

SECON is not just a trade fair for displaying new products and keeping an eye on latest security trends, but a business platform for import-export consultations. The Online Business Meeting Service allows attendees to enter the system at any time, providing diverse opportunities of engaging attendees with the exhibitors and their products. Both attendees and exhibitors can request meetings, in which attendees can arrange meetings with exhibitors directly via the online platform exhibitor profile page and manage their schedule.

COUNTLESS NUMBER OF EVENTS- IoT HACKING DEMONSTRATION AND CPR Experience Center

A wide variety of events has been prepared for visitors. Visitors can experience CPR as well as IoT Hacking Demonstrations. The IoT Hacking Demonstration emphasizes the importance of Smart-Home security by emphasizing the weakness of wall-pads and arbitrarily manipulating door locks, devices, smart lights and controlling gas heating.

Visiting the CPR Experience Center is essential for saving lives. The 4-minute critical time of the emergency measures following cardiac arrests, is the only provided time for CPR. If emergency measures are not taken within the 4-minute period, blood will not flow into the brain, increasing the risk factors for developing critical condition. Visitors are able to experience emergency reportings, chest compressions, and artificial respirations.

Lastly, visitors are more than welcome to enter the prize drawing event by taking part in the ‘Visitor Survey’, ‘Defibrillator Donation Campaign (indicating the institution or community the visitor wishes to make the donation to)’, sharing social media posts of the exhibition invitation, and posting photos taken by the photo wall on social media.
