TechVision Seminar & Exposition 2009
26/11 saw, at Mumbai, the financial capital of India, a series of terrorist attacks, multiple hostage crisis, mindless killings and fierce gun battles, lasting about sixty hours - and at the end, a disrupted life. The terrorists had struck major targets including luxury hotels and a Jewish Centre, frequented by Westerners and elite Indians,and holed up later inside these buildings with innocent civilians as hostages. Prior to this, they also had targeted at least seven more places, and went on a killing spree on that fateful Wednesday evening.
Irrespective of the strong and concerted world response against the acts of these stateless perpetrators, the process to spread terror in India is continuing unabated from across the border. If the intelligence and news reports are to be believed, all out efforts are being made not only through the western and eastern borders of India, but also through the lengthy coast line to infiltrate and push these stateless, mindless actors into our mother country.This event has resulted in panic buying and installation of security related gadgets, without any professional assistance or advice.
A close analysis will reveal the sophistication, planning and lethality leading to ever increasing number of deaths and damage. Obviously, tech-savvy terrorists are always at an advantage as they are uniquely placed to use all possible types of terror tactics at their will, ranging from hostage taking, driving explosive laden vehicles, using sea routes, indiscriminately shooting at civilians and using grenades to maximise the damage.
In order to create awareness, and to organise large users, clients, vendors and major organisations and personnel likely to be affected by the Terror, under one umbrella, we are conducting a one day seminar at Kochi.

Benfiits & Advantages
Business Community
Boom or Boon for Security Business ?
Employment of manpower is the costliest element in security. At the same time, human link is the weakest in any secure environment. The terror attacks on Mumbai and increasing security concerns spell boom time for at least one industry in a time of global meltdown - the business of physical and electronic security solutions. This business consists of not only hiring security guards, but also, consultancy on creation of secure environment and setting up of automated technology controls and gadgets. We believe this will further give rise to markets for security items as also increased job opportunities.
ROI for Security Investor
By providing a safer environment, you may actually notice an increase in the foot falls to your property as well as a decrease in employee turnover. It is an established fact that customers and employees are attracted to environments where they feel safe.
The business community must look at security as an 'investment', rather than a 'cost'. Protecting an infrastructure means:-
- The safety and prosperity of the business venture
- Longer service life for the infrastructure
- Enhanced client trust
Security Minded
Listen to the current and near future security challenges faced by government, commerce, individuals and others. Also discussed will be the current and emerging threats, counter measures, state of the art technology and research thrusts in the modern physical and electronic security environment. Professionally interact with top national and international professionals, vendors, OEMs and integrators, working in the field of modern Physical and Electronic Security, with vast network of prospective end-user clients, law enforcement officials, government and major enterprises.
