The premier exhibition-conference for the security industry moves to a dynamic, in-person format.
After five years of driving innovation through digital channels, secsolutionforum is set to take the stage in Bologna, marking a pivotal moment in the event's evolution.
The exhibition-conference will take place on
October 7–8, 2026, at the BolognaFiere exhibition center.
Organized by Ethos Media Group, this strategic shift to an in-person format aims to foster deeper connections across the security and cybersecurity ecosystem. The choice of BolognaFiere—a world-class international venue—underscores the event's growing prestige and capitalizes on the city’s role as a pivotal transit hub at the heart of Italy and Europe.
A hub for innovation and knowledge
Over two intensive days, secsolutionforum 2026 will unite industry leaders, combining a high-profile exhibition showcase with a comprehensive, accredited education and training program. Attendees will gain exclusive insights into cutting-edge technologies, evolving regulatory frameworks—including critical updates on EU privacy and cybersecurity standards—and the most pressing challenges facing the sector. The agenda is further enriched by high-level round tables focused on vertical markets and emerging technological trends.
Bridging the gap: Physical and cyber security
Designed to complement the biennial SICUREZZA trade fair, secsolutionforum 2026 serves as a dynamic meeting point for the entire security spectrum. From video surveillance, intrusion detection, and access control to fire safety and integrated security systems, the event brings together the full community: designers, engineers, system integrators, installers, vendors, and end users from both public and private sectors.
“Reconnecting with the physical dimension was a strategic priority,” says Andrea Sandrolini, CEO of Ethos Media Group. “BolognaFiere provides the ideal platform to scale a format that has already proven its value in uniting leading associations, professionals, and companies. The enthusiastic response from our partners for 2026 confirms the immense growth potential of this project.”
Join us on October 7–8, 2026, at BolognaFiere.

Insights: A Conversation with Andrea Sandrolini
Why the move to an in-person format?
"Face-to-face interaction is irreplaceable. We wanted to build on the success of our digital editions by creating a more profound sense of community. With 2026 being an off-year for SICUREZZA, we saw the perfect opportunity to relaunch secsolutionforum as a premier live event, establishing Bologna as the new nerve center for the security industry."
Why Bologna?
"Beyond our personal ties to the city, Bologna is the logical choice. It offers a prestigious, world-class exhibition venue paired with unrivaled connectivity, making it the most accessible hub for both Italian and international visitors."
What are your expectations for 2026?
"Our goal is to deepen the synergies between security and cybersecurity—two sectors that are becoming increasingly inseparable. The early, overwhelming interest from our partners confirms that the industry is eager for a platform that fosters collaboration, innovation, and strategic partnership."
