Further networking opportunities

VIPs and delegations from more than 20 countries were present at EWE 2019, with military/VIP attendance up 1.7% year-on-year. Government attendance grew by 6%.

With a combination of new and traditional markets represented in equal measure, our VIP engagement team work directly with exhibitors to create relevant, balanced programmes for each delegation. This helps to ensure suppliers of appropriate products and services are matched with potential customers. Participants in 2020 can expect an enhanced matchmaking service. All specific meeting requests will be forwarded to the VIPs and Delegations for their consideration and any that are accepted will be programmed accordingly.
