Defence Exports Conference on September 28-30, 2026 in London, United Kingdom

Once again established as the leading global forum for defence export professionals, the event will unite senior government officials, regulators, and industry leaders from across the international defence and trade ecosystem.

As a truly global conference, delegates will hear directly from government speakers and senior international trade compliance experts on the full spectrum of regulatory frameworks, including ITAR, EAR, EU and UK Export Controls, Dual-Use regulations, and the Wassenaar Arrangement.

To set the agenda for this milestone year, the conference will open with a Pre-Conference Focus Day on 28 September 2026, dedicated to navigating defence exports in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape. This focused programme will examine regulatory divergence, enforcement risk, and geopolitical uncertainty, equipping organisations with practical strategies to maintain compliance while preserving operational and commercial resilience.

What's new for Defence Exports 2026?

This year's conference will introduce a range of brand-new perspectives from across the global defence exports and trade compliance community, welcoming fresh voices from government, armed forces, and industry. Newly represented organisations include BUKL (A subsidiary of The Boeing Company), NCAB Group, MTU Aero, Metrea Aerospace, Safran Group, Saudi Arabian Military Industries, RAM-System GmbH and Honeywell.
