UFI’s latest campaign is
raising its voice for Global
Exhibition Day
UFI, the global association of the
exhibition industry, is promoting
a new campaign ‘Voices of the
Exhibition Industry’, as part of
Global Exhibition Day 2020.
Global Exhibition Day 2020 falls
on 3 June. The ’Voices’ campaign
looks to showcase the diversity
of the exhibitions industry,
encouraging eventprofs to explain
what they do, how they got into
it, and why they love working in
exhibitions.
This could come in the form of
an infographic or a video. There
are examples to be found on UFI.
TV, as well as on social media at
#GED2020.
Global Exhibitions Day is a
worldwide celebration of the
exhibitions and events industry
and everyone involved in it. It
highlights the power of face-to-face
exhibitions to boost business, jobs,
innovation and local investment.
The campaign focuses on
messages that promote the value
of exhibiting for companies, the
key support role of exhibitions
for the development of trade
and internationalisation, and
the stimulating role exhibitions
play in driving innovation and
competitiveness of companies.
UFI facilitates GED by inviting
everyone working in exhibitions
and trade shows to take part in
this campaign, organising and
sharing initiatives that promote
the industry.

Flexible monitoring through

independent application
ICE Gateway has released its latest
exhibition security product, iceDETECT.
iceDETECT is a flexible monitoring
system that uses sensors to provide
security to exhibition stands. It can
monitor exhibition space 24 hours a day,
and triggers the alarm automatically in
case of unauthorised entry. The integrated
Mobile Edge Computer ensures that all
data is analysed and transmitted in real
time.
It uses two different sensors to recognise
those around it, ensuring that venue and
security staff do not set off the alarm.
iceDETECT is easy to transport and set up,
taking the form of a tripod with the sensor
on top. It has 28 hours of battery life.
PIR (Passive-Infrared-Motion detector)
sensors measure the temperature and
radar sensors detect movements. Both
systems in combination ensure a secured
result. Furthermore, three additional
sensor systems are integrated in order to
prevent manipulation and theft.
A statement on the ICE Gateway website
reads: “Planning security personnel is a
complex and time-consuming process:
contracts are short-term, often last-
minute, and scheduled shifts must not be
cancelled. iceDETECT was designed exactly
for this reason: it is a reliable mobile
application which is available at any time
and almost independent from human
support.”
