DSEI is the world’s largest fully integrated defence and security exhibition that brings together the entire industry to source the latest equipment and systems, develop international relationships, and generate new business opportunities.

Based in ExCeL, London every two years, the event provides unrivalled access to key markets across the globe.

Combining a high quality of exhibitors across the supply chain, networking opportunities and the ability to see new technologies first hand on the show floor, DSEI provides an inspirational experience to nearly 30,000 visitors.

As the must-attend event of 2013 with more exhibitors and educational content than ever before.

Campaigners have staged a ‘die-in’ as a protest against the world’s biggest arms fair being held in London’s Docklands next week.

As preparations get underway to put the last remaining touches to the event, members of the Stop The Arms Fair coalition attempted to highlight the ‘deep hypocrisy’ of inviting manufacturers of Syria’s weapons to showcase their wares in the UK, while also condemning Syrian president Bashar al-Assad for using them.

The Defence Security Equipment International (DSEI) show runs every other year at London’s ExCel and aims to provide international arms manufacturers and buyers the opportunity to network, peruse the latest equipment and ‘generate new business opportunities.’
