Specialist Defence and Security Convention UK 2026
The Specialist Defence and Security Convention UK (SDSC-UK), previously known as 3CDSE, returns on 3 and 4 February 2026, making its debut at Birmingham’s NEC.
About this event
SDSC is the UK’s foremost event for the specialist military user community, bringing together NATO and 5EYES defence and security communities. From MOD capability and procurement teams to leading industry innovators, this is your opportunity to network with key stakeholders. You’ll see cutting-edge solutions in action and gain vital insight from senior military leaders and government representatives on future strategies.
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.
The move to the NEC in 2026 marks the event’s most extensive and impactful format yet, with enhanced exhibition space, wider industry engagement and its most comprehensive programme. You can expect to see expert-led conferences, including the MOD Special Projects Industry Day conference, as well as an exciting exhibition on day two with over 110 anticipated exhibitors amongst talks, presentations and networking opportunities.
