At Clarion Events’ Defence & Security division, Grant Burgham has become the new Event Director for the London-base exhibition, Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI).
With 17 years of experience working on global events for organisers such as Reed Exhibitions, the Dubai World Trade Centre and Centaur exhibitions, Grant joins Clarion with experience from the British engineering sector, IT and communications and the international maritime industry.
DSEI once every two years brings together the defence and security sector. DSEI 2019 will have five key sector-focused Zones: Air, Land, Naval, Security and Joint, all showcasing equipment and systems.
Grant, pictured, said: “It is a pleasure and an honour to have the responsibility of delivering DSEI, at a time when defence and security continues to dominate the global agenda. DSEI is known across the events industry to be “best in class”, and I am dedicated to ensuring that DSEI continues to evolve to meet the expectations and requirements of the industry we serve.”
And Tim Porter, Managing Director of Clarion Events’ Defence & Security division, said: “We are delighted to welcome Grant to the DSEI team. His skilled leadership and experience managing large-scale international events is a highly beneficial addition to the Clarion Events Defence & Security portfolio and will enhance our success and global recognition.”
