The 12th edition of Milipol Qatar — the country’s prestigious homeland security and civil defence exhibition — will kick off at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre on October 29.
The three-day exhibition, which is being held under the patronage of HH The Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, will highlight the important role played by civil defence in protecting Qatar’s population and ensuring public safety, reported Gulf Times.
As a result, this year’s Milipol will also feature a Civil Defence Exhibition and Conference, organisers said.
World-leading companies specializing in the fields of civil defense confirm their participation in Milipol Qatar 2018 exhibition, specializing in internal security and civil defense, which takes place between 29-31 October.

“This is in line with Milipol’s constant evolution to provide unmatched experiences for exhibitors, visitors, buyers and industry professionals and provide the link between defence specialists and key decision makers,” a statement said.
The collaboration of the two shows will make the exhibition a one-of-its-kind event anywhere in the region.
It is also expected to bring key global players together for a series of conference sessions and agenda-setting panel discussions about the latest and emerging civil defence trends and best practices, reported The Peninsula.
