The largest security exhibition in Ukraine

Expert Security - 2021 is the largest security industry expo held in Ukraine in almost two years, despite two postponements due to the COVID‑19 pandemic and other factors. Thanks to the favorable location of the International Exhibition Centre (10 minutes by public transport from the city center) and its joint format together with such powerful exhibition as "Arms and Security", we were able to attract quality attendance, which is the main indicator of a successful exhibition. That's why "Security is within easy reach" is not just a motto, it is about a desire to be accessible to everyone interested in the security of their business and property.
