London, United Kingdom, May 5, 2010 – Clarion Events, the UK’s largest independent event organizer, announced today a strategic partnership with the Navy League of the United States.
This partnership will strengthen Clarion’s Defence & Security portfolio of events, including the biennial Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEi) exhibition, Latin American Aerospace & Defence (LAAD), the Undersea Defence Technology (UDT) series and the European conference on Anti Submarine Warfare. Navy League members will benefit from wider exposure to global business opportunities and Clarion Events international networks.
“Our strategic partnership with the Navy League reflects Clarion’s commitment to the North American defense and security industry through its premier maritime association,” said Sally de Swart, DSEi exhibition director, Clarion Events. “As companies look to grow their business through contracts with industry and government, they will find that DSEi and other events in the Clarion portfolio represent a tremendous opportunity to present their credentials on a truly global stage.”
In addition, the Navy League will have a presence at DSEi 2011 to be held at ExCeL in London on September 13-16, 2011, and UDT Europe to be held in Hamburg, Germany on June 8-10, 2010.
