Your stand at DSEI 2027

Every two years, DSEI brings more than 1,600 defence and security exhibitors to London, facing official delegations from all over the world. As at Eurosatory, the stand is a diplomatic and commercial tool: it must present complex systems and host confidential meetings.

The challenges

Making your stand a success at DSEI

Our advice

Think in terms of a journey: an open exhibition area for equipment, then meeting lounges away from view. Plan handling and floor loads early for heavy equipment.

  1. 01Presenting equipment and systems that are sometimes very large
  2. 02Organising confidential meeting areas for delegations
  3. 03Following strict security and access rules

When should we start our stand for DSEI 2027?

Do you have experience with defence shows?

Yes. We design stands for this type of event, with confidential areas, understated signage and great rigour on security and deadlines.

Can you reuse our Eurosatory stand at DSEI?

It is good practice: we design modular structures that we adapt from one show to another, to make the most of your investment.
