Testimonials
“The big plus for the exhibition was the presence of foreign companies, both as exhibitors and visitors. If the organisers maintain the tradition of actively working with foreign companies, KIPS will become a leader among the security exhibitions in Ukraine.”
Viktor Koptenkov
Deputy General Director
SIDCON
“The KIPS exhibition is held alongside the KievBuild exhibition, as a result of which the exhibition is attended by construction companies, designers and installers. During the show, our company made new contacts and acquaintances, and was able to familiarise construction market participants with new solutions for small sites. We believe that the exhibition was successful, and are currently considering participating in it in the future.”

Robert Bosch Ltd.
“I'm pleased – there aren’t any of our competitors here with sensors and security equipment. The co-location of the KIPS exhibition with KyivBuild and the International Forum of Information and Telecommunication Technologies suits us - as a result, visitors from construction and development companies and suppliers of IT equipment move between the two pavilions. The KIPS exhibition is an opportunity to gather in one place the main players in the industry, and to analyse products, follow market trends, and share experiences. It is a place for meetings and analysing the situation in the market, where major companies meet, consider colleagues’ offerings, and talk on neutral territory. It is an opportunity to bring together existing customers and conduct seminars, training sessions and other activities for them.”
Svetlana Grishina Commercial Director, Protection and Security, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
“Our company is conducting seminars and meetings with potential partners both in Russia and in Germany and Austria - where are global surveillance systems are installed. We have contacts in Ukraine, with whom we need to communicate. With brief visits it is almost impossible to arrange meetings with all our potential customers. Here at the show it was possible, and the exhibition perfectly fulfilled the function of a meeting point.”
Konstantin Arbuzov, Head of Business Development, Geutebruck, Germany
“There are a lot of new contacts here. We participate in another security exhibition. Frankly speaking, the format has not proven its value, and our participation is now more for image. KIPS is held at a different time of the year, in a different format, and with different organisers. Our company supplies equipment, and the co-location of the project with a construction exhibition served as a solid argument in favour of participating in your show, as it improves the likelihood of cross-contacts, including with representatives of contractors and developers. The main installation companies know all the major players in the market, just as the major players know their main potential customers. The KIPS exhibition in its current form is a very effective platform for communication. We held two seminars at the exhibition, and met with the maximum number of existing and potential customers.
Oleg Kiriyaynen, Head of Security Systems, Distribution Department, Romsat (Kiev, Ukraine):
“Through exhibiting at KIPS 2011, we managed to make a lot of useful contacts and, most importantly, assess the potential of the Ukrainian market, in connection with which a decision was made to open a representative office of our company in Kiev, to promote our products in Ukraine’s market. We intend to participate in KIPS 2012, as an international event offers real opportunities for the development of exhibitors.”
