    Event overview

    Overview

    Securex Africa 2027 is Africa's integrated security, fire, safety and facilities trade platform, running 1-3 June 2027 at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg. The show brings together electronic security, access control, surveillance, cyber and OT security, fire protection, occupational safety and facilities management under one roof, alongside A-OSH Expo, Facilities Management Expo and Firexpo.

    Its buyer base is senior and commercial: security and risk managers, procurement and compliance officers, integrators, consultants, facilities teams and government representatives from South Africa and more than 30 countries. The 2026 edition reported 9,093 qualified visitors and 270+ exhibitors, giving exhibitors a tested route into African security and built-environment demand.

    TL;DR

    1. 11-3 June 2027 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg.
    2. 2Security, fire, safety and facilities under one roof with A-OSH, FM Expo and Firexpo.
    3. 32026 edition: 9,093 qualified visitors, 270+ exhibitors and 30+ countries.
    4. 480% of 2026 visitors influence or make purchasing decisions.
    5. 52027 adds a Startup Zone, Pitch Den, roundtables and CPD content.

    Why visit

    A visitor can compare surveillance, access control, perimeter, fire and facilities systems in one hall, then meet the integrators and distributors who install and support them locally. The co-located shows shorten the search for a single integrated risk programme, while the seminar and CPD content gives security and facilities teams a structured update. Two days are enough for a serious sourcing pass; a third day suits follow-up meetings and conference sessions.

    Why exhibit

    Exhibiting puts a brand in front of a senior, pre-qualified African audience: the organiser reports that 80% of 2026 visitors influence or make purchasing decisions and that exhibitors averaged 134 leads. The 2027 buyer strategy adds African VIP recruitment, roadshows, matchmaking and curated meetings. For a supplier entering South Africa, the co-located platform reaches security, safety, facilities and fire budgets that would otherwise need four separate events.

    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    Securex matters because it aggregates four budgets that are usually bought separately: security, occupational safety, facilities and fire. The 2026 organiser data points to a senior audience (80% influence or decide purchases) and a working floor (134 leads per exhibitor), which is more useful to a supplier than raw footfall. Its limits are equally clear: the numbers are self-reported, the 2026 post-show report was still pending, and South African security demand is constrained by power reliability, construction cycles and public-sector procurement delays.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    The audience is commercial and senior rather than consumer. The organiser reports 80% of visitors influence or make purchasing decisions, 30+ countries represented and an average of 134 leads per exhibitor. Security and risk managers, integrators, consultants, facilities heads and procurement officers are the core, with government and law-enforcement representation. Buyers from 12+ African countries are targeted for 2027. Treat the percentages as organiser claims until the post-show methodology is published.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    ROI depends on the stand and the follow-up. A 9 sqm shell scheme is a reasonable test for a distributor or first-time entrant; a 36 sqm custom stand suits an integrator demonstrating hardware and software. The 2027 buyer-matchmaking programme and VIP recruitment are the main new ROI levers. Budget for lead qualification and a 48-hour follow-up because the show floor is compact and buyers compare several suppliers in one day.

    Intelligence

    Market context

    Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

    Southern Africa

    Why it matters

    South Africa accounts for the largest share of formal security spending in Africa, and Johannesburg is where corporate, mining, retail, property and government buyers are concentrated. Local crime, infrastructure reliability and public-event security keep demand steady for surveillance, access control, perimeter and fire systems. Buyers increasingly want integrated, remotely managed solutions rather than boxes, which favours suppliers who can show software, service and local integration. Securex is the established annual market place for those relationships, and its co-location with safety, facilities and fire aligns with how procurement teams now buy risk reduction.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Converged physical and cyber security

    Security teams are buying CCTV and access control that share a network with IT, raising demand for OT security, identity management and resilient architecture.

    What it changes: Suppliers who can document cyber hardening and integrate with IT systems win larger enterprise deals.

    Source
    02

    AI-enabled surveillance and analytics

    Object recognition, number-plate reading and behaviour analytics are moving from pilot to mainstream in estates, retail and logistics.

    What it changes: Analytics create recurring software revenue and differentiate hardware commoditised on price.

    Source
    03

    Energy resilience and smart buildings

    Load-shedding and rising energy costs push buyers toward solar, battery backup and building management that keeps security systems running.

    What it changes: Energy resilience is now part of the security specification, not a separate facilities purchase.

    Source
    04

    Integrated facilities and safety procurement

    Organisations want one contractor for security, fire, safety and facilities to reduce vendor sprawl and compliance risk.

    What it changes: Co-located shows let a supplier meet all four budget holders in one trip.

    Use hotel-arranged or e-hailing transport at night, keep valuables out of sight and avoid walking in unfamiliar areas after dark.

    Tipping and pace

    Flights

    Destination: O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB)

    Estimated cost: USD 40-90

    Processing: 10-20 working days

    Apply early; biometrics may be required. Check the latest exemption list before paying for a visa.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Gautrain to Marlboro plus taxi, or a 30-50 minute e-hailing/car transfer from JNB.

    Hotel → venue: Hotel shuttle if offered, otherwise e-hailing; allow 20-35 minutes from Midrand and 35-50 from Sandton.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Bolt are widely used; confirm the car and driver, and use the venue pickup zone.

    Public transit: Gautrain connects the airport, Sandton and Pretoria; buses and minibuses serve Midrand but are not ideal for first-time business visitors.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (Wednesday 2 June 2027)

    Day 2 typically has the fullest programme, all exhibitors are set up and buyer delegations have arrived, while Day 3 is shorter and focused on follow-ups.

    T-14

    Confirm dates, venue and travel budget; book refundable flights — June is low season for local tourism but business hotels fill around the show.

    T-12

    Check visa or visa-free status and passport validity — Apply immediately if a visa is needed.

    T-10

    Book hotel in Midrand or Sandton and arrange airport transfer — Prefer a hotel with a shuttle or easy e-hailing pickup.

    T-7

    Register for the show and download the floor plan when released — 2027 registration was still a waitlist at research time.

    T-5

    Build a shortlist of 12-15 exhibitors and request meetings — Group by security, fire, facilities and cyber.

    T-2

    Pack business cards, adapters, warm layer and printed meeting schedule — Load the venue map and save offline.

    First-timer guide

    Follow-up playbook

    1. Tag every lead with need, budget, authority and timing before leaving the stand.
    2. Send a personalised email within 48 hours referencing the demo and the buyer's site.
    3. Share the technical datasheet and a clear next step, not a generic brochure.
    4. Log the lead in the CRM with the source and consent status.
    5. Book a follow-up call for the following week and track it to a quote or a close.
    6. Review win/loss reasons after 30 days and adjust the 2028 plan.

    The show floor is compact and buyers compare several suppliers in one day. Speed and specificity matter more than volume; a 48-hour follow-up with a documented next step outperforms a mass mailer.
