CTX to join DSEi in London in September 2021

The Counter Terror Expo, and accompanying Forensics Europe Expo, will take place alongside DSEI at ExCeL London on 14–16 September 2021.

Show organisers Clarion Defence and Security say that the events have been positioned alongside DSEI to offer the strongest business case for exhibitors and attendees to meet and do business on an international scale.

CTX attracts attendees and exhibitors from across Europe, all of whom will have the opportunity to seek counter-terror business synergies with a wider pool of stakeholders attending DSEI across the Land, Naval, Aerospace, Joint, and Security domains. DSEI 2021 is on track to deliver the event’s most comprehensive iteration to date, with both returning key accounts and first-time exhibitor numbers reflecting the industry’s commitment to a return to live events.

Tracy Bebbington, Event Director, CTX and FEE, said: “As a strategic counter-terror event and the leading European forensics event, both with a global audience, large numbers of the collective audience typically travel to the event from overseas. We have decided that there is a strong crossover audience between CTX, FEE and DSEI attendees that we could leverage to deliver three events side-by-side in 2021 and enable our attendees to take advantage of the business opportunities this will offer.”

Grant Burgham, DSEI Event Director, added: “We are pleased to report that we are on target to deliver our strongest ever DSEI in 2021, both in terms of new exhibitor bookings and organic growth of stand size. Thanks to careful management of the floorplan we can run CTX and FEE alongside DSEI and offer attendees and stakeholders a week of business opportunities that will prove to be worth the wait after a tumultuous 18 months for our industry.”
