Lyon Security Forum · 2027

Agoris analysis · updated October 2026

Key takeaways

• The Lyon Security Forum is a trade show for security professionals, in its first edition and held over a single day: Tuesday 8 June 2027, from 9am to 5pm, at the Hub des Sécurités in Écully, west of Lyon.
• Four fields structure the offering: physical security, fire safety, workplace safety and economic intelligence. The programme includes an exhibition area, two round tables, one conference and two networking cocktails.
• Visitor entry is free, with online registration. The website announces 400 expected participants: this is a target for this first edition, not a result.
• Organiser: not identified. The website presents the event under its name alone, with no company name or corporate legal notice, and shows no co-organiser or partner.
• Frequency: not announced. No edition preceded the 2027 one and no follow-up has been dated.
• Exhibitor prices are not published: the exhibitor pack and the price list are sent on request, via the form on the Exhibit page.

Who exhibits

Typical profile

The show divides the sector into four fields, which the website details as follows: physical security (access control, site security, crisis management), fire safety (prevention, detection, compliance and evacuation), workplace safety (risk prevention, employee health and protection) and economic intelligence (monitoring, information protection and cybersecurity). The exhibitor form invites each applicant to place themselves in one or more of these fields.

The website sums up the ambition in a single phrase: "Four areas of expertise, one venue".

Three formats appear in the form: a "Standard stand (2 tables, 4 chairs, 1 electrical power strip)", an "Exhibition trailer" and a "Special request", with a screen, a high table or a 3x3 tent as options. The website does not say where the trailer and the 3x3 tent are placed: the Programme page locates the exhibitors' area in the "Main hall". The same page also describes the stand as a space fitted with partitions, lighting and a power supply: the two descriptions do not entirely match, a point to have clarified in the exhibitor pack.

Notable exhibitors

No exhibitor is announced at this stage: the website publishes no list, no logos and no partners. It plans a company profile for each exhibitor, on the website and in the visitor guide. Participation requests go through the Exhibit page.

Quality of the audience

The stated target is precise: "Security decision-makers, QHSE, CIOs, executives and local authorities". The website expects 400, a figure to read as a launch target, since no edition has yet taken place and no counting or audit mechanism is mentioned.

The visitor registration form asks for the size of the organisation, from 1 to 10 employees up to more than 250, and reserves a box for local authorities and the public sector. It also allows visitors to attend for just a morning, just an afternoon or only the conferences, which makes a targeted visit easier.

Events & community

Conference programme

The published programme is organised around three highlights, all scheduled in the auditorium:

• 10:30am, round table "Supply chain security: the Lyon case": manufacturers, carriers and security forces are due to discuss the protection of flows within the metropolitan area.
• 2:00pm, round table "Crans Montana and what next?", presented as a lessons-learned session on securing major international events.
• 3:30pm, conference "In the shadow of the officer: the place of the security officer in the age of AI", devoted to automation, intelligent video and the changing security professions.

No speaker is named to date. The website presents a "Programme under construction" and states that speakers, workshops and demonstrations will be announced as the weeks go by; it invites professionals who wish to speak, run a workshop or share their experience to come forward.

Shape of the day

The published programme provides for a welcome coffee and the opening of the doors at 9am, the opening of the exhibition area at 9:30am in the main hall, a networking lunch cocktail at 12:30pm, then closing and a networking cocktail at 5pm. The Exhibit page presents these two cocktails, at midday and at the end of the day, as a way to extend the conversations; exhibitor badges give access to them.

Community & networks

The website mentions no partner, no professional organisation, no media outlet and no institutional backing. Nor does it mention any link with the host venue or its occupants.

The venue nonetheless gives the show its context. The Hub des Sécurités was created by the CCI Lyon Métropole Saint-Étienne Roanne to bring public and private security players together on one site; it hosts, among others, the École nationale de police scientifique and the Cluster Eden.

In the region, the sector also has Préventica Lyon, a platform devoted to health, safety and quality of life at work, whose 2026 edition is scheduled for 6-8 October 2026. In Paris, Expoprotection, the trade show for the prevention and management of occupational risks, brings the sector together at the Porte de Versailles, with an edition scheduled for 3-5 November 2026. The Lyon Security Forum sets itself apart from both through its format: a single day, where the other two last three days.

On site: what you need to know

The Hub des Sécurités occupies, at 23 avenue Guy de Collongue in Écully, the former campus left vacant by the departure of EMlyon business school. The Hub offers 27,000 m² of modular rental space in a 7.5-hectare park. The show's programme uses a reception hall, a main hall for the stands, an auditorium for the round tables and the conference, and a networking area.

By car, the show's website indicates a route "via the D307 / A6, Écully exit" and free on-site parking, with spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility near the entrance. By public transport, the show's access page indicates metro line D to Gorge de Loup, then a bus to Écully; the TCL journey planner lets visitors choose the line and the stop. From Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport, the Rhônexpress runs to Part-Dieu, from where you continue by metro.

The show is open from 9am to 5pm, with a welcome announced from 8:45am on the access page. The venue is on one level and presented as fully accessible to people with reduced mobility. The team states that it replies within 48 working hours to visitors, exhibitors, journalists and partners, at contact@lyonsecurityforum.fr.

How much it costs to exhibit

No price list is published. The Exhibit page invites applicants to describe their project, whether a stand, sponsorship or a speaking slot, and promises in return the full exhibitor pack and the price list. Partnership and sponsorship offers are likewise sent on request.

The announced stand package includes an equipped space (partitions, lighting, power supply), exhibitor badges giving access to the cocktails, and a company profile on the website and in the visitor guide. A screen, furniture and a demonstration workshop are offered as options. For visitors, entry is free.

For a company in the Lyon region, the one-day format limits ancillary costs to stand logistics and staff time. For an exhibitor travelling from further afield, as the exhibitor welcome is scheduled for 9am, arriving the day before is worth considering; set-up times are not published.

Preparing your visit

For the exhibitor

• Ask, with the exhibitor pack, for the identity of the entity that organises and invoices, and for its general terms of sale: the website publishes neither.
• Have the exact content of the stand clarified, as the two published descriptions do not coincide, along with the set-up and dismantling times.
• Fill in your field or fields on the form: the show structures its whole offering around these four themes.
• Offer to speak: the programme is announced as under construction and the website solicits experience reports and workshops.
• Stay until the closing cocktail at 5pm, the second networking moment of the day.

For the decision-making visitor

• Register online, free of charge, selecting in the form the round tables and the conference that interest you.
• Choose your half-day according to the topics: the morning for supply chain security, the afternoon for securing major events and the place of the security officer in the face of AI.
• Follow the Programme page, which is expected to be enriched with speakers, workshops and demonstrations.
• Plan your journey: free on-site parking if you come by car; by public transport, a metro and bus connection from Gorge de Loup.

Policy & CSR initiatives

No CSR commitment is published for the Lyon Security Forum. The website, limited to six sections (home, programme, venue and access, exhibit, visit, contact) and a privacy policy, has no page devoted to sustainability and mentions no ISO 20121 certification. As the organiser is not identified, no group programme can be attached to the event.

The venue offers no documented commitment either: the Hub des Sécurités website presents no environmental approach specific to the venue. The show is held on the former EMlyon campus, which the CCI converted into the Hub des Sécurités; neither the show's website nor the Hub's presents this choice as an environmental approach. The published programme includes, at this stage, no session devoted to environmental issues.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

The Lyon Security Forum has no history yet: its website, online since late summer 2026, announces a first edition on 8 June 2027. What it offers is therefore read through its positioning.

The show is held in a venue whose purpose coincides with its subject. The Hub des Sécurités, which the CCI intends for public and private security players, already hosts sector events, such as the 3rd Strategic Intelligence and Crisis Management Day (Journée de l'intelligence stratégique et de la gestion de crise), organised by the IEC-IES on 28 March 2025. The show also presents itself in a format different from that of the large trade shows: a single day, free for visitors, described by its website as that of a Lyon trade show, which brings together security, fire safety, workplace safety and economic intelligence, whereas Préventica Lyon lasts three days and is devoted to health, safety and quality of life at work.

Three unknowns remain to be resolved by 8 June 2027: the identity of the organising entity, which appears nowhere on the website; the real make-up of the exhibition, as no exhibitor is announced; and attendance, measured against the stated target of 400 professionals. The frequency is not announced.
