Access to International VIPs and Delegations 

DSEI’s VIP programme works closely with the UK Government to deliver international delegations, key decision makers, and influencers to companies across the exhibition floor.

Our dedicated VIP engagement team work with the MOD, UKDSE, international MODs and embassies, and our distinguished partners to bring high-ranking officials worldwide. These visiting delegations specify their procurement requirements, and we match this with the exhibitors' relevant capabilities. This ensures a coordinated, time-efficient, and relevant experience for our VIP visitors and maximum return on investment for our exhibitors.
