Warrior Expo East

Over two days, Warrior Expo attendees receive a crash course in cutting-edge gear and the most cost-effective support solutions from hundreds of hand-selected exhibitors. With 300+ industry suppliers and more than 3,000 vetted attendees, it’s far more than a simple trade show-it’s the defense industry’s one-top-shop for industry networking, customized training, and product demonstrations.
