Welcome to the website for the campaign to shut down DSEi 2005.

DSEi (Defence Systems and Equipment International) is the world’s biggest weapons fair selling everything from battleships and attack helicopters to cluster bombs and machine guns. At DSEi 2003 there were 973 exhibitors selling their deadly wares to delegates from a third of the world’s countries.

DSEi 2005 runs from 13 - 16 September, at the ExCeL Centre, London Docklands. DISARM DSEi is calling for a week of action and resistance against this evil trade, both at the exhibition and at relevant targets across the country. Get involved now. Come to the convergence centre to find out more.

The convergence centre will open at 6pm on Friday 9th September at:
St Matthias Centre, Bullivant Street, E14 0ER.

Nearest DLR: All Saints.
Buses: 15, 108, 115, 277, D6, D7, D8. Night buses: N15, N50, N108, N277.
