With 5,454 attendees, the exhibition showcased the latest technology and featured a program that brought together leading figures from the security industry.

SeguridadExpo 2026 concluded its tenth edition this Thursday at Metropolitan Santiago, with a final day that focused the discussion on some of the most significant challenges currently facing the Chilean security system.

Over the course of three days, 5,454 people flocked to the more than 150 exhibitor booths that brought SeguridadExpo 2026 to life. Compared to 2025, 328 more attendees visited the exhibition, representing a 10.8% increase. All of them had the opportunity to get an up-close look at some of the technologies that are transforming security. Robots, drones, Tasers, and Free Flow weapon detection gates were part of an exhibition that demonstrated how innovation is already expanding capabilities in prevention, detection, and response.

In terms of content, the final day began with the keynote address “The Prison System After Constitutional Reform: A New Paradigm,” delivered by Undersecretary of Justice Luis Silva, who later participated in the panel discussion “New Prisons and Overcrowding: Challenges in Regaining Control of the Prison System.”

The discussion focused on the changes proposed by the constitutional reform for the prison system and the need to address security and reintegration in a coordinated manner. “I believe the overarching idea in the context of the reform is not to lose sight of the fact that reintegration equals security and that, therefore, there must be an ongoing dialogue between those responsible for security and those responsible for reintegration, at both the political and operational levels,” Silva noted.

During his remarks, the undersecretary also praised the forum created by SeguridadExpo for bringing together different sectors, highlighting the opportunities that arise from such interaction. “It benefits both the private sector and the system, because there is a reciprocal, virtuous relationship between the public and private sectors regarding the prison system,” he stated.

The day continued with the panel “Borders Under Pressure: Territorial Control, Organized Crime, and Capacities for an Integrated Response,” which shifted the discussion from the prison system to one of the main challenges currently facing the country. The debate focused on the need to strengthen territorial control and the capacity to respond to organized crime, from a perspective that requires greater coordination among the institutions involved.

In the afternoon, the Congress concluded its program with the panel “Municipal Security: An Ally of Public Safety,” co-organized by the Association of Municipalities of Chile (AMUCH), the Chilean Association of Municipalities (AChM), and the Association of Municipalities of the Valparaíso Region (AMUR).

Thus, the final day brought to a close an event that, over the course of three days, fostered dialogue among various stakeholders in the security sector and highlighted the capabilities the industry is developing to address the sector’s new challenges.

With the conclusion of SeguridadExpo 2026, the organizers are already planning the next edition, which will take on special significance as it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Carabineros de Chile. The event will take place in 2027 at Espacio Riesco, marking a new chapter for a trade show that has served as a meeting place for the security industry for a decade.
