Defence and security agendas are centring on multi‑domain capability and industrial resilience. Eurosatory 2026 takes place from 15 to 19 June 2026 in Paris and brings those themes to the exhibition floor and demonstration areas.

The programme lists more than 400 conferences and over 900 speakers from 31 countries, with substantial professional attendance and international media coverage.

Core themes are multi‑domain superiority, remote engagement with drones and long‑range effects, land manoeuvre and air mobility, crisis management and industrial resilience.
How to prepare B2B prospecting at Eurosatory 2026
Concrete steps to optimise commercial outcomes:
- Target by capability. Map exhibitors and delegations focused on land defence, armament systems and cyber security and prioritise outreach accordingly.
- Book meetings in advance. Reach out to exhibitor contacts to secure meeting slots and align agendas with demonstration schedules.
- Bring technical substantiation. Supply datasheets, integration case studies and links to live or recorded demonstrations that illustrate operational fit.
- Assign roles within the team. Allocate personnel for sales, technical demonstrations and immediate follow up with a clear post‑event timeline.
Focus on operational relevance rather than broad marketing messages; buyers at Eurosatory respond to validated technical propositions.
Logistics and demonstration areas
The exhibition combines themed halls and a live demonstration zone that reflects contemporary operations, including trench‑like environments, 3D drone manoeuvres and close quarters battle scenarios. Use the venue map to sequence pavilion visits and demonstration attendance.
