The Specialist Defence and Security Convention UK (SDSC-UK), previously known as 3CDSE, takes place on 1 - 2 November 2023, at the Telford International Centre.
It is the UK's foremost event for the specialist military user community, bringing together NATO and 5EYES defence and security communities.
Established in 2017 in Hereford, SDSC has evolved into a pivotal platform for defence and security stakeholders. It is the only exhibition and conference in the UK solely dedicated to exploring specialist user capability requirements.
SDSC-UK is organised by the Three Counties Regional Defence and Security Cluster (3CRDSC), a non-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of SMEs working with specialist users. The event facilitates direct engagement between SMEs, UK MOD, and US DOD capability and procurement teams, as well as intermediary organisations.
In 2023, the event features an exciting exhibition, expert-led conferences, the MOD Special Projects Industry Day conference, and US DOD Pitch & Present sessions, among other opportunities. The goal is to facilitate connections and showcase cutting-edge technology, ultimately leading to business growth and militaries with clear strategic advantage.
Anticipating over 1500 attendees and 135+ exhibitors, SDSC-UK promises to be a dynamic hub for collaboration and innovation.
