Intersec 2025

Intersec is the world’s biggest business event mapping the future of security, safety and fire protection. The event is held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Intersec will mark its 26th edition from 14 – 16 January 2025 at Dubai World Trade Centre following a huge international response from both visitors and exhibitors attending its Silver Jubilee event in 2024 which hosted 47,506 trade buyers from 141 countries including key government leaders, agencies and organisational heads across industries.

The event has been a success story for the past 25 years, offering a growth potential as innovation across all our sectors continues to address new levels of threat and risk. This makes it more important than ever that those charged with maintaining national and international security, safety and providing state-of-the-art fire protection should meet and discuss strategies and solutions.

The dynamics of the market are constantly evolving with new technologies such as blockchain, AI and IOT having a significant impact across the safety and security industry. So Intersec is the event where experts, suppliers and buyers in the world of security, safety and fire protection meet face to face to discuss leading-edge technology, see the very latest products and solutions across a wide range of industries and business sectors, and conduct business.

6th Winter Economic Crime Symposium

Fraud is a massive regulatory challenge, largely because of fraudsters’ continuous pursuit of a novel course of conduct. Facilitated by advances in communication technology and globalisation of business, organised forms of fraud have rapidly increased in its volume, and in some States represents the most common crime type. While this increase is concerning, the international community has recognised the worrying scale of fraud and the need for joint efforts in preventing and combating fraud. A prime example are recent legislative activities by the United Nations and its new global programme to support States in tackling organised fraud by new global tools on its typology and on legislative and policy measures against it.

The 6th Winter Economic Crime Symposium brings together a diverse body of researchers, practitioners, students, and other community members to discuss these new developments in policing economic crime. The Symposium is supported by the Journal of Economic Criminology and the International Society of Economic Criminology.

Speakers will include:

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) – keynote Prof. Edward R. Kleemans, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands Dr Yuliya Zabyelina, University of Alabama,USA Dr Ivan Franceschini, University of Melbourne, Australia Dr Michael Skidmore, The Police Foundation, UK Valerii Tatsiienko, National Police of Ukraine Dr. Suleman Lazarus, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK Dr. Abubakari Yushawu, University of Wroclaw, Poland

The 6th Winter Economic Crime Symposium is a free online event that will take place on 16 January, 2025.

Join scholars, practitioners, and other experts for a discussion and reflection on the most important problems associated with economic crime.
