LAAD Defence & Security is a professional defence and security exhibition. Its 2027 edition is announced for 13–16 April at Riocentro. It brings together representatives of the armed forces, police, government bodies and companies working in security and the defence industry.

What does the exhibition cover?
The exhibition spans naval, land and aviation sectors, as well as public and corporate security. Its business purpose is to connect professional buyers and suppliers, discuss solutions and provide opportunities for industry meetings. The programme is intended for a specialist audience with particular professional interests.
Delegations and company teams can prepare by identifying the exhibitors they want to meet and agreeing their own visit programme. Individual meetings and industry activities may have separate participation requirements. Consult the organiser of the 2027 edition for current information.


Who can attend?
Admission is restricted to relevant professionals and representatives of eligible organisations. Accreditation applications require approval. Visitors under 18 are not admitted, even if accompanied, so the exhibition is unsuitable as an activity to share with children during a family trip.
Photographing or filming exhibits requires the exhibitor’s permission. Check the current admission and photography rules before your business visit.
