On Thursday around 500 of the most powerful weapons buyers and sellers will come to the Dorchester for a lavish meal with arms deals on the side. The DSEi/DMA dinner is an important part of the DSEi week, both for networking within the arms industry and as an opportunity to make agreements for weapons sales, perhaps over a glass of blood-red wine...

Bring bikes, bells and beautiful people to ride against the DSEi death dinner.
We'll have a gentle jaunt around the London streets, before ending up at the big NOISE demo outside the Dorchester Hotel around 7.30pm, where the DSEi delegates will be feasting. This may be our final chance to disrupt the business in death, so let's make it a big one !!
