Admission Policy

DSEI is open to Official Defence Delegations, Exhibitors’ Guests, DSEI VIP's, Ministry of Defence visitors (UK and overseas), Media and Trade visitors. Anyone wishing to attend the exhibition (including those who have been invited by an exhibitor) must pre-register via the DSEI website and include the Exhibitor Guest Code, if invited. Registrations should be completed no later than the 15 July 2013 to ensure there is adequate time to process and post accreditation prior to the event.   We cannot guarantee to process registrations in time for posting submitted after this time.

By using a Exhibitor Guest Code to register, you are giving permission for the inviting company to contact you with relevant show information.

Please note that media must apply online to comply with the accreditation process, which includes providing photographs for badges.

During the exhibition show days (10 - 13 September) there will be a limited onsite registration facility.  Expect delays.

General

* Admission is restricted to professional and business visitors who have been invited

• Visitors should be engaged in legitimate areas of the defence industry; the armed forces, the government, equipment procurement organisations, defence contractors, specifiers, operators/end-users, defence colleges and research establishments.
   
• All stand personnel, visitors, guests, stand contractors and services acknowledge that only the Organiser’s official admission badge, worn by the person named on it, will permit admission (as the Organiser’s licensee) into ExCeL/DSEI 2013. The badge remains the property of the Organiser and has a notional value of 0.01p.
   
• No person named on the badge or the company, firm or business, which that person represents, may permit the badge to be worn by another person. The wearing of a badge under these circumstances will constitute appropriation, an automatic termination of such licence and will be sufficient grounds for the unauthorised individual to be removed from the exhibition. It may also lead to prosecution. Identity checks will be conducted as a condition of entry.
   
• All persons attending the exhibition should carry and produce on request a supporting personal photographic identity document - passport, photo-ID driving licence, national identity document or similar.
   
• All stand personnel, visitors, guests, stand contractors and service providers should pre-register. Their names will be subject to a security clearance process. Industry Visitor pre-registrations are subject to a non-refundable administration fee.
   
• Any person found to be registering to attend DSEI using false information or credentials or deliberately with-holding information will have their application automatically denied and may be liable to prosecution.
• Without prejudice, the organisers reserve the right to exclude any person(s).
   
• No photography of stands and/or exhibits is allowed without the expressed permission of the stand manager.
   
• All persons attending the exhibition must wear business or service dress.
   
• No person under the age of 18 years, including children of exhibitors, will be admitted during the tenancy period.

The Organisers reserve the right to exclude or remove anyone from DSEI and ExCeL who does not comply with this policy or who they reasonably consider are likely to break these rules
