The Security Event returns to the Birmingham NEC from 8-10 April 2025. This event brings together manufacturers, distributors, installers, consultants, and end users for three days of exciting networking and learning. It’s a chance to explore the latest security products, technologies, and solutions from top global brands. Attendees can also meet experts face-to-face and stay updated on key industry trends. The event will feature a comprehensive education program for those looking to deepen their knowledge.

The Open Security Standards Association (OSS) is a non-profit organisation that works to create global standards for access control systems. OSS promotes industry collaboration to develop safer, more compatible hardware and software. These standards ensure better compatibility, reduce dependence on specific brands, and improve security in access control.

Standards drive growth and quality in the industry, benefiting businesses by reducing costs and risks. By following these standards, companies gain a competitive advantage, especially in tenders and development processes.

Visit the OSS at Stand 5/J120 at TSE 2025. Following the success of the 2024 exhibition, the OSS is returning with an even bigger presence this year.

The OSS will be joined by six member companies, each playing an active role in shaping the future of access control: DOM UK, Easy Secure, CoreWillSoft, Keylezz, Autec & Plasticard.

Stay tuned for more details on each company’s contributions and innovations at TSE 2025.
