Intersec Saudi Arabia 2027 · Riyadh
Messe Frankfurt has moved Intersec Saudi Arabia to October 2027, giving exhibitors close to a year to plan their Riyadh stand. Lazulite builds for fire safety distributors, camera makers, access control firms and government technology suppliers selling into Vision 2030 projects. Our crews have worked four editions in the Saudi capital. A Lazulite engineer stays on each stand until the 7pm close.
Show facts
Intersec Saudi Arabia is an annual trade exhibition for security, fire and safety in Riyadh, held under the patronage of the Minister of Interior.
Show details checked: 9 November 2026
Intersec Saudi Arabia runs under the Minister of Interior's patronage, with Saudi Civil Defense on its programme. In 2025 Civil Defense gave the Fire Protection & Technology Summit keynote, and NFPA ran a full day of life safety sessions.
The organiser sorts exhibitors into five product groups. Commercial & Perimeter Security takes in CCTV, video management and analytics, biometrics, turnstiles and PSIM. Homeland Security & Policing covers control rooms, forensic equipment and armoured vehicles. Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health and Cybersecurity complete the floor. In 2025 they filled RICEC Halls 1 to 7 and an outdoor area.
Messe Frankfurt names NEOM, Red Sea Global, Qiddiya and Diriyah Gate as the projects driving Saudi demand. Their facility teams walk the aisles beside civil defence officers. The 2025 edition drew more than 380 exhibitors, and the organiser planned for over 500 in 2026.
October 2027 is the expected month, with exact days still to be announced. The organiser postponed the edition planned for Monday 16 to Wednesday 18 November 2026, citing the safety of exhibitors and visitors. The 2025 edition ran for three days, from 29 September to 1 October.
The 2027 venue in Riyadh is not yet confirmed. Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center was booked for 2026, with 40% more floor space than before. The 2025 edition used Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center, so wait for the organiser's hall plan before drawing.
Build-up at Intersec Saudi Arabia starts three days before the show opens, under the organiser's 2026 exhibitor information. Product dressing is allowed the afternoon before opening day. Exhibits leave by 11:59pm on the final day. For a modular stand inside five weeks of opening, call +971 50 173 8408.

A raw space booking at Intersec Saudi Arabia comes as bare floor, so walls, flooring and every electrical point are the builder's job. Lazulite fabricates custom stands in Dubai and sends modular systems from stock. Both travel to Riyadh by road.
Saudi buyers test access control and fire detection by hand before they shortlist. A Tangible Table or 4M Sliding Screen puts that proof beside the real product.
Each Intersec Saudi Arabia participation includes free visitor invitations. Lazulite registers your invited guests on Event Registration & Badging Systems and welcomes them at Interactive Kiosks. Each contact is tagged by product group.
The halls close at 7pm on the final day, and no stand may come down earlier. A Lazulite engineer keeps cameras, screens and kiosks working through each show day. Vehicles reach the loading bay from 8pm, and our crew starts dismantling then.
Turnstiles, biometrics and RFID readers all sit in the Commercial & Perimeter Security group. Install a working lane at your stand edge, and let Interactive Screens show each entry event on your access control software.
Video management and analytics buyers compare cameras side by side. Mount your range on one rail, and a 4M Sliding Screen moves along it, showing each unit's live view and analytics overlay.
Fire contractors on Saudi projects check a product's approvals before they specify it. Place a detector, sprinkler head or extinguisher on a Tangible Table, and its data sheet, test standards and approvals appear at once.
Life safety and evacuation filled the 2025 Fire Protection & Technology Summit programme. An Immersive Room runs a smoke spread scenario through a hotel corridor, so your alarm, emergency lighting and smoke control respond in sequence.
Intersec Saudi Arabia exhibitors place design, vehicle, electricity, rigging and carpet orders through Exhibitor Online Orders. Lazulite prepares your drawing pack and files it there, then answers the organiser's comments. The 2027 manual will set the dates.
The organiser's Exhibitor Portal carries a pre-approved supplier list for exhibitors. Lazulite confirms its contractor status for your edition and registers each crew member as the manual directs. Contractors and labourers enter through the loading bay during the three build-up days.
Lazulite works out your power, rigging and internet load and files every service order on your behalf in Exhibitor Online Orders. Hall safety rules will follow the 2027 manual.
Your product group, stand number and the approvals your buyers will ask about set the first Intersec Saudi Arabia layout.
Messe Frankfurt receives our drawing pack through Exhibitor Online Orders as soon as the 2027 venue and hall plan are published.
Cameras, analytics screens and kiosks run together in our Dubai workshop for a full day before the trucks leave for Riyadh.
Our crew unloads at the loading bay, completes the build in the three set-up days and hands over before product dressing starts.
Exhibits leave your stand by 11:59pm on the last show day, and our crew clears the structure by 6pm the following day.
At Intersec Saudi Arabia, the truck run from Dubai and hotel nights for the crew enter every budget before floor area does. Typically, expect a modular frame in Riyadh to run AED 1,000 to 2,000 whenever a square metre is built. Bespoke joinery typically climbs to AED 1,500 to 3,500 by the same measure.
Floor space comes from Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia's sales team through the official show site, which publishes no space rates. Our quote holds design, build, technology, content and crew. For Riyadh, expect quotes toward the top of each range, because freight, customs and travel cost more. VAT in Saudi Arabia is 15%.
The move to 2027 lets a modular stand wait in our store rather than be rebuilt. Indoor LED walls typically hire out at AED 300 to 650 per show day for each square metre of LED.
Budget bands
Compact
Typically, alarm, lock and PPE brands on about 12 square metres plan on AED 30,000 to 70,000
Standard
Typically, camera and access control firms on about 36 square metres allow AED 80,000 to 200,000
Flagship
Typically, integrator islands of about 100 square metres reserve AED 300,000 to 650,000
Ranges checked: November 2026
Pricing note: These ranges are indicative, for planning only. Your final quote depends on your requirements, stand size, show duration and the resources your stand needs. They exclude organiser space, venue charges for power, rigging and internet, and VAT.

Intersec Saudi Arabia moved from RICEC in 2025 toward Riyadh Front for 2026, and the 2027 hall is still open. Lazulite draws each stand in sections that suit either hall plan. Riyadh Front is already on our venue list.
Camera demonstrations at Intersec Saudi Arabia need moving images. Our content team films staged scenes with consenting actors, so your analytics run on footage you own.
Every Intersec Saudi Arabia stand starts in Dubai Production City. It crosses into the Kingdom by road with its customs papers prepared, so nothing waits on air freight.

No. On 19 October 2026, Messe Frankfurt told trade press the 16 to 18 November edition at Riyadh Front would move to October 2027. The official show site still listed the November dates on 9 November 2026. Ask the organiser to confirm before you book freight or hotels.
