DSEI 2025 will occur between the 9th and 12th of September 2025 in ExCeL London as a face-to-face event. The venue will not implement strict coronavirus safeguards. This is due to the country removing its pandemic restrictions.
DSEI (DSEI London or DSEI UK) is a leading international trade show for the defence and security industry. It is the central innovation display hub for novel systems and technologies. This allows military personnel and experts to experience the latest technological advances. DSEI provides information about the whole value chain. The event is based in London and operates out of ExCeL London once every two years. DSEI UK presents novelties from the entire defence and security industry. Such include armaments, tactical gear, munition, and first aid equipment.
Because of its diversity, DSEI is the meeting location for tier 1 to 3 suppliers, defence ministers, service providers, pre-qualified industry visitors, manufacturers, system integrators, subcontractors, senior procurement staff, and prime contractors/OEMs. DSEI London is a high-profile event that receives over 35 000 attendees. For instance, one edition featured over 1 700 exhibitor firms and 36 000 visitants. 114 countries participated in the rendition. Among them were Australia, Finland, and the USA. The edition featured over 40 national pavilions and over 300 expert speakers.
The DSEI conference features a comprehensive support programme. Each edition operates under a specific theme. For instance, the central theme for one iteration was “Integrated Response to Future Threats”. This central theme influences the subjects selected for the Forums, seminar and keynote speeches. Among the main events is the detailed exhibition, where exhibitors present their latest products. This includes all levels of the supply chain, such as digital solutions and others. The DSEI exhibition grounds contain several Zones (Land, Naval, Security, Aerospace, and Joint) and Hubs (Space, Future Tech, Medical, and Manufacturing).
Each of the Zones features at least 60 categories. The Aerospace Zone, for instance, has over 100. It presents wares such as AI, missiles, flight simulators and others. The Land Zone is another exhibition zone. It features wares, like artillery, EOD, countermeasures, logistics, and body armour. The Naval Zone presents the latest naval vessels and technology. It includes a dockside section for live demonstrations of maritime capabilities and can contain additions such as visiting warships. The Security Zone presents equipment, strategies, technologies, and systems for countering high-priority threats such as terrorist attacks via its more than 60 categories. The Joint Zone displays products that can serve the entire Defence and Security Community via its over 100 categories. Such include sectors such as communications and defence infrastructure.
The Hubs serve as dedicated platforms for presenting different lead sectors. The Space Hub, for instance, displays the latest communication and space applications. The Future Tech Hub is the central location that unites Innovation, Cyber and Communication. It serves as the defence community's meeting place for discussing important subjects. The Medical Hub is the showcasing location for defence medical research and simulations. It contains a series of interactive stands and a demonstration area. Attendants can earn awards at the demonstration area by showing their medical abilities. The Manufacturing Hub is where UK newcomer manufacturers can network with the industry. This includes meeting with prime contractors. Among the services which receive a presentation in the area are consultancy services and hybrid manufacturing.
Each Zone contains a specialist Forum (Joint Forum, Naval Forum, Land Forum, and others). The Forums enable dialogues between attendees around the current edition's core themes. For instance, one edition focused on future operational requirements, skill retention, information exploitation and industry engagement. Similarly, each Hub contains a specialised Theatre focused on the core themes. For instance, the Manufacturing Theatre demonstrated the latest supply chain management developments via live demonstrations. The Medical Innovation Theatre also featured live demonstrations. Yet, the wares on display were related to the latest Operational Patient Care Pathway innovations. This includes future requirements for modern military healthcare systems.

Hi, My name is Phillip from the Medit Company. We have been long working with Travel2Fairs Company for Hotels&Meeting rooms and Megan was always willing to assist us. We had gone through lots of changes in schedules and number of rooms and sometimes I felt sorry for Megan for requesting many times but she always tried hard to meet our needs. Also, Travel2Fairs deals with the customer's request in a very prompt timely manner. I always appreciate your service Megan from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a great day and would love to do business with you in the near future. Thank you!
we used this service for 3 years in a row and it has always been great, effective and fast: we have been allowed to change some names of the guests and to book further rooms without any delay.
The hotel selected had a great position near to the station stop and just 15 minutes by train from the Fair. The rooms were cute and cleaned and the personnel at the desk well prepared and quick.
We are very happy and satisfied.
Excellent service from the team. I would highly recommend their services
Dear Christine,

Hi,
The average opinion of our people was: The rooms were really o.k., good bed, enough space etc., and there was an easy access to the public transportation. What they did not like was the poor breakfast. Further two of them noticed empty bottles on the room at their arrival, that have not been removed during their whole stay. That's no good room service.
Dear Nick,
I'm sorry I could not answer the phone. I was not in business last week, so I'm in a big crowd.
He wants to thank you again for your accommodation.
In Frankfurt, we were very nice. The hotel is close to the fairground and the city center. Rooms are very nice, clean and neat.
Frankfurt is arranged. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe we will be back together with the accommodation
Great regards, Amela
Dear Tom
Everything was perfect
I will contact you again next year
