SAGE 2020, the only security expo to take place in Australian in 2020 (pre-register here), opens at 11am today at the Realm Hotel in Canberra!
According to SAGE organiser Monique Keatinge, there are now 375 pre-registrations for SAGE, with attendance staggered across the day in time slots to ensure conformance with ACT Government stipulations that only 190 people be in the expo space at a time.
“The pop-up nature of the SAGE expo makes meeting these requirements easy,” Keatinge said. “Though it does look like we’re going to have an extremely busy morning at the Realm this Thursday – anyone who has not pre-registered yet should select times in the afternoon, taking into account refreshments will be served from 3.30pm at locations inside and outside the expo hall.”
Sponsored by Gallagher, SAGE includes ASIS ACT seminars, which will be live streamed across multiple locations to meet social distancing requirements.

* Seminar speaker 1, Geoffrey Askew, AM, Principal, Askew & Associates, and former Senior Executive (Security and Emergency Management), QANTAS Group, who will speak on “Rethinking Australian Aviation Security Management and Funding” at 10am in the seminar area.
