09 Feb 15. Registration for DSEI 2015 is officially launched. Visitor registration for Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2015 is now open ahead of the world leading defence and security event, which is being held at the London ExCeL, 15-18 September. DSEI organisers Clarion Events are expecting to exceed the record-breaking success of the last event in 2013 which resulted in more than 32,000 visitors from 121 countries worldwide. Exhibitor bookings are far ahead compared to 2013 and the footprint of the event is expected to be larger. The event is quickly taking shape with 92% of the available exhibition space already booked. DSEI Event Director, Duncan Reid explained, “Building on the success of DSEI 2013, this year will see the introduction of a number of new initiatives, advancing the event’s offering for exhibitors and visitors alike. DSEI is recognised globally as an exceptional environment for military business networking and briefings. The event brings the entire supply chain together with the procurement and operational sectors. The addition of an online visitor portal – DSEI Communities – will help ensure that participants get maximum value from their attendance at DSEI. The service, which enables secure communication between users, helps to plan a visit in advance and capitalise on the exclusive networking opportunities for which DSEI is renowned”. Emphasising DSEI’s reputation as a platform for global defence and security thought- leadership, there will also be a brand new one-day event on the Monday before the exhibition officially opens – DSEI Strategic Conferences – which will focus on the future of three crucial areas of technology: naval, medical and rotorcraft. Open to the entire international defence and security community, the Strategic Conferences will bring together speakers and delegates from a global military and security background. DSEI this year will reach a new level with more visitors, exhibitors and delegations, as well as increased features, enhanced zones, and new conference and educational content. Over the coming months, further additions to the programme will be announced.
