On May 20–21, 2026, the Poznań International Fair grounds will host an event that, in a short time, has become one of the most important gatherings for Poland’s security sector. The event focuses on the key challenges of the modern world – from the effects of climate change and natural disasters, through chemical and environmental threats, to building and transport disasters. Particular attention will be devoted to solutions in the fields of internal security, rescue services, and civil protection in crisis situations.
