Global Security Asia has been held in Singapore since 2005, and the show has continued to grow and gain favor with attendees and exhibitors alike. The goal of bringing the world to Asia for a special security show is resulting in a show that is not just maturing, but growing every year. The international delegations continue to be a feature that the exhibitors appreciate, as GSA brings in high-quality attendees.

Global Security Asia is now part of the Milipol network and, starting with the 2017 edition, will be renamed as Milipol Asia-Pacific. This is a biennial show, so the next show is in 2017 and they expect over 200 exhibiting companies and 7,300 attendees. The 2015 edition was held in March at the Suntec Singapore convention center, but in 2017 the exhibition will return to the Marina Bay Sands.

Milipol Asia-Pacific 2017 will continue to serve the ASEAN region and retain its 3-day format showcasing the latest technology solutions in the Defense and Security environment. The Show will address the fundamental issues of global terrorism and internal state security, which will present opportunities for specialists and engineers in the vitally important areas of internal state security and counter terrorism to share their experience and expertise regarding the sophisticated threats currently facing governments in the region.
