Why Clarion Events supports the defence and security industry

Clarion Events is the largest independent events organiser in the UK and a highly successful, award winning company.

It has been creating leading brands and world-class business and networking environments globally in a variety of sectors for more than 30 years. To see some of the exhibitions Clarion Events organises, and to learn more about the company visit www.clarionevents.com.

In 2008, Clarion Events acquired a presence in the defence and security sector, including the world’s largest defence and security exhibition, Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi).

Over the past year, a small minority have tried to convince others that DSEi helps to perpetuate the illegal arms trade. This is not true.

This website has been set up to:

Explain Clarion Event’s role in the legitimate defence and security industry, and why it is proud to be involved
Detail what goes on at DSEi, and dispel some of the myths surrounding the event
Provide information about the international and national legislation regulating the legitimate defence and security industry
Explain why we support an international Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), to stamp out the illegal trade in arms across the world
