Why Exhibit and Sponsor? While your booth at the Defense Systems Tech Expo (DSTE) will showcase your products and services to your largest, enterprise customers, your presence goes deeper than the show floor. In addition to bolstering sales, you’ll also build brand equity and demonstrate your expertise by educating military leaders, defense primes, academic researchers and software engineers on developments improving resilience and capability. The stakes for defense weapons systems have never been higher. Be there for DSTE customers counting on you for the insight and innovations they need to reimagine and combat the software driving tomorrow’s logistics, intelligence, communications and command systems.

Your booth comes with two complimentary

full-conference passes to the Air & Space Weapon Systems Software Summit. Participate as an attendee and learn even
