MSPO
MSPO draws armed forces, defense ministries, and government procurement teams from across the world to Kielce. Commanders and agency leadership come here to look at inertial navigation systems and other equipment before it gets fielded — which makes it one of the more consequential defense shows on the calendar, even if it’s not the biggest by attendance.

GSOF Symposium Europe
- Rome, Italy
- Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel
Booth 4
An annual conference bringing together international Special Operations Forces stakeholders from military, government, academia, and industry. The conversations here run toward interoperability and partnerships as much as products — SOF units comparing notes on assured PNT and navigation gear that has to work when GPS doesn’t.

AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition
- Washington, DC, USA
- Walter E. Washington Convention Center (WEWCC)
Booth 4248
North America’s largest land power exposition: over 44,000 attendees, 750+ exhibitors, and delegations from 92 countries packed into the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. This is where the Army lays out its priorities for the year, and where most of the U.S. defense-industrial base shows up to hear it firsthand — including the INS and IMU makers whose hardware ends up on the vehicles and systems being discussed.

First Responders Expo
- Houston, TX, USA
- George R. Brown Convention Center
Booth 1916
Part of Natural Disasters Expo USA, this newer show puts firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, rescue teams, and emergency-management professionals in the same room as the vendors building their next generation of equipment. Narrower focus than the big defense expos — disaster preparedness and response, specifically — but a direct line to the people using the gear in the field.

Commercial UAV Expo Americas
North America’s largest event for commercial drone and uncrewed aviation professionals. Three days of technical sessions, live flight demos, and one-on-one meetings between technology providers, operators, and the people making purchasing decisions across the UAS market. A good gauge of where commercial drone work is actually headed this year, not just where the press releases say it’s headed.
