For those that haven’t yet registered for this June’s not-to-be-missed industry event; Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety, the official opening of the online workshop portal (http://www.lockex.org/workshops/) provides some extra incentive, but be sure to secure your place soon as time (with only six weeks to go until the big event) and seats are moving fast…

Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety (brought to your by the team behind Clearview, Clearzine, Pro Installer, and The Locksmith Journal) promises be a one-stop-shop for everyone in the industry from locksmiths and auto locksmiths, security and fire safety officers, to architects, designers, planners, and specifiers.

Taking all the key parts from the first event in 2016 – well organised, visitor-orientated, industry relevant and an exhibition that was actually enjoyable –  plus adding some extra aspects to make sure newcomers and past guests alike will be satisfied, this year’s show may have expanded its reach – to reflect the ever-increasing concerns and considerations of security and fire safety – but be safe in the knowledge that there will be no compromise on the quality of displays, demonstrations or exhibitors at the event.

The reimagined workshop area – right in the heart of the Ricoh Arena – will this year house eight demo zones for exclusive training sessions, expert seminars and a keynote speech from Neil Vann. All Lockex workshops are absolutely free, and you can attend as many as you like, but you must reserve your space in advance so you don’t miss out. With industry-leading names from all over the world taking part, all you need to do to reserve your place is register for this year’s Lockex then head to the Workshop portal (http://www.lockex.org/workshops/) and pick any of the seminars and presentations you wish to attend.
