Why Attend?

DEFSEC Atlantic presented by the Atlantic Canada Aerospace & Defence Association is a major networking opportunity for the Aerospace, Defence and Security industries - the second largest of its kind in Canada. Focused on showcasing Atlantic Canadian opportunities, the show's worldwide reach creates partnership potential for all attendees.

Incorporating elements of both a trade show and a defence procurement conference, the event provides access to "the right people" in an engaging and professional setting. All attendees have ample opportunity, through meetings, B2B programs, social events, expert panel discussions and presentations, to interact with all levels of defence, industry and government participants.

DEFSEC Atlantic gives you access to:

• a significant number and variety of exhibitors both from Atlantic Canada and beyond
• international companies and delegates, as well as Canadian Trade Commissioners, to assist you in discovering potential trade and export opportunities
• facilitated Business-to-Business/Business-to-Government meetings

• one-stop shopping for information on government programs designed to assist companies to move to the next level
• everything you require located in a single venue
