Arms fairs are held all over the world and are where companies exhibit all types of military, security and policing weapons and equipment, from fighter jets to water cannon to assault rifles and ammunition. Whilst we might wish these fairs did not exist they are a useful source of information on the arms industry. The fairs often publish lists of all the companies exhibiting and information on the weapons they sell.

Omega Research Foundation and CAAT have collated this data on the arms fairs and the companies that attend them in to one place and it is available for all to access.

Join us with speaker / panellists: Rachel Small (World Beyond War, Canada) and Dr. Chris Rossdale (academic and author of “Resisting Militarism: Direct Action and the Politics of Subversion”) with moderator Helen Close (Omega Research Foundation) to find out more about arms fairs, the resistance to them, and this new resource.
