World's First Event Dedicated to Crowd Dynamics
The world's first major trade event in the rapidly expanding people analytics and crowd dynamics field, the People Movement and Management Show (PMMS), will be taking place at London's Olympia on 6th and 7th March 2018.
The event produced by GSE Media Ltd, will run alongside the highly successful Security and Counter Terror Expo (SCTX), the UK's leading national security event, run by Clarion Defence and Security Ltd.
The event focusses on the technologies involved in the people movement aspects of the modelling and design of urban spaces. These technologies range from crowd flow analysis and real time data acquisition involved in maximising space utilisation to wayfinding, circulation efficiency, retail revenues, operational effectiveness, resilience and the securing of crowded places and ultimately visitor experience.
The decision to host the event in London establishes PMMS as the key pan-European trade show for the people analytics industry and follows a very successful launch event at the Roundhouse, Derby in July.
Ken Davies, Managing Director of GSE Media, said:
"The emergence of technologies around how people interact with their surroundings, and the use of this data to optimise the design, operational logistics and customer experience in public buildings and urban spaces, continues to provide fascinating new opportunities.
Following the great success of the launch event in 2017, we are delighted to transfer the event to Olympia. SCTX provides the perfect partner event given its high-quality footfall of professionals involved with the management of urban spaces."
Visitors will be able to discover a plethora of technological innovation in this field which will provide insights into the future of operations from mass transit, retail, passenger terminals and universities to sports stadia, shopping centres and urban events. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to hear and meet world-leading experts in this field, in a range of high level presentations delivered across a varied two-day agenda.
Tim Porter, Managing Director of Clarion Defence and Security commented:
"We are pleased to welcome the PMMS event to run alongside SCTX under the UK Security Week umbrella. The challenges inherent in securing crowded spaces and major events are already high on the agenda of our visitors at SCTX, so the emerging new technologies and solutions on show at PMMS will only add to the high-quality experience that both visitors and exhibitors already enjoy. With 5 events now under one roof - SCTX, Ambition, Forensics Expo Europe, The World Counter Terror Congress and now PMMS - UK Security Week 2018 is shaping up to be a compelling proposition for the communities all 5 events serve."
