Defense & Security has established itself as one of Asia’s leading Tri-Service Defense & Security, Conference and Networking Events. The show is designed to provide outstanding opportunities for international businesses in the industry and also to enable global companies to enter ASEAN’s booming defense and security market.

In 2015 this show is expecting to play host to more than 200 official and non-official delegations representing over 25 countries which will be led by Defence Ministers or their top representatives. As before, it is hoped that this event will offer excellent networking opportunities for all ASEAN Delegations, exhibitors and the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
