D3IP has collaboration and innovation at its core.
This event is your chance to network, share knowledge, showcase emerging technologies & services, and ultimately support an immersive event that will drive forward the conversation with key decision makers from Defence & Law Enforcement in the room.
Interested in more than just attending? Register to secure you place, then get in touch to discuss the available opportunities!
D3IP facilitates collaboration between public sector organisations in sectors such as Defence & Law Enforcement, as well as industry experts, regulation & policy makers, subject matter experts, and academia.
Our expos focus on key thematics, utilising all that knowledge and experience to comprehensively explore subjects like Autonomy, Connectivity, and Extended Reality.
We also organise and manage smaller-scale events to unpick customer problem sets, showcase industry capabilities, and more.
Check our website for the latest events from D3IP.
Forge connections and share knowledge with experts perfectly placed to deliver collaboration and co-creation.
Delve into sessions that explore the thematics shaping the future of defence, law enforcement, and security.
Be inspired by leading innovators to make change and develop the capabilities that will shape the future of technology.
Agentic AI, the ethical dilemma posed by autonomous systems, and the future threat landscapes of an autonomous world… Those were just some of the themes being discussed as D3IP staged its inaugural Autonomy Unleashed Expo in 2024. You can learn more about what happened at last year's event via the button, images & video below.
Join us at Dorset Innovation Park for this exciting and insightful event.
D3IP is bringing together the industry and subject matter experts setting the direction when it comes to in-vehicle technology; public sector agencies looking to exploit connected vehicles to achieve their public safety objectives; and the regulation and policy makers creating the law and setting the standards for this emerging area.
Details of D3IP's Connected Vehicles Expo 2025 will be released in due course. Check our website for the latest events from D3IP.
Dive into an immersive exploration of Extended Reality and its potential to revolutionise civil contingencies. Collaborating with cutting-edge industry partners, as well as experts in Defence, Law Enforcement & other public sector organisations, see what the future hold at D3IP's Reality Reimagined Expo 2025.
