REVIEW 2017
ISRAEL DEFENSE & HLS EXPO
ISDEF 2017
POST SHOW REVIEW
The 8th
edition of ISDEF took place on June
6-8, 2017, and successfully solidified the shows
reputation as the largest defense and security
event in Israel.
As in previous years, the focus of the exhibition
was on interoperability and the diverse use of
products by end users for various purposes. The
expo was opened by a speech from the Israeli
Deputy Defense Minister, Eli Ben Dahan; and
visitors included both procurement and end users
from the public and private sectors. Attendees
had the opportunity to learn about the latest
developments in defense technology and watch
live demonstrations showcasing a variety of
products.
In addition to the emphasis on interoperability and
business development, ISDEF 2017 also dedicated
a great deal of resources to promoting and sharing
professional knowledge among manufacturers,
distributers and end users. This displayed in
a conference that took place alongside the
exhibition and featured world renowned lecturers
from the IDC, INSS, Tel Aviv University and more.
The conference took place in addition to the
workshops and discussed global concerns from
immigration to homegrown terrorism and the
impact on HLS and the financial issues.
ISDEF 2017 was also the main event celebrating
25 years of diplomatic relations between Israel
and India. This manifested in the presence of
official Indian delegations at the diplomatic level,
including as an Indian national pavilion of 400
Square meters. In addition to the Indian pavilion,
ISDEF also featured national pavilions on an
unprecedented scale; including Czech Republic,
China and U.S pavilion with 30 exhibitors.
This year's expo proved that quality and quantity
need not come at the expense of each other.
With more than 14,000 attendees and almost 300
exhibitors, ISDEF 2017 also featured advanced
products and technologies by leading companies
such as IMI Systems, HP, Plasan, Surefire, Schmidt
& Bender, Steiner, ECA Group, Avon Protection
and Beth-El Industries.
Overall, ISDEF 2017 exceeded the expectations
of the event organizers, exhibitors and visitors
alike. With record media exposure, diplomatic
engagement and attendance, ISDEF 2017 set a
high bar for future defense exhibitions in Israel;
and we are confident that we will exceed all
expectations at ISDEF's next event.

25 years of diplomatic relations between
Israel and India
ISDEF 2017 was the main event celebrating
25 years of diplomatic relations between
Israel and India. This manifested in many
noteworthy events, beginning with the
Indian ambassador's attendance of the
diplomatic gala as the guest of honor and
keynote speaker, and culminating with a
400 square meter national pavilion at the
exhibition. The national pavilion, supported
by the Indian government, included almost
50 exhibitors and delegates.
VIP Gala
ISDEF also mixed business and pleasure
with the ISDEF 2017 Cocktail Gala, which
took place on June 5th rd at the Stuko
in Tel-Aviv. This celebration is an ISDEF
tradition, and was enjoyed by more than
600 invited guests, among them; exhibitors,
delegates, diplomats, Israeli officials and
VIP attendees. The evening included dinner,
dancing, musical entertainment and a raffle
giveaway presented by Diamond Mines.
Hatzala Mock Mass Casualty Incident drill
The second day of ISDEF featured a mock
MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) drill by United

this, ISDEF proved to be a platform for the
sharing of knowledge as well as technology.
K-9 Demonstration
Visitors to ISDEF 2017 watched dogs and
their operators walking around the expo
hall, as well as live demonstrations.
This, first ever, appearance of canines in a
defense expo was a great compliment to
the technological aspects of the exhibition.
UAV Cage

2017 was the UAV cage, in which various
drones were flown demonstrating their
unique capabilities. Due to strict safety
regulations, ISDEF's UAV cage was the first
to ever be erected in Israel.

unparalleled number of official attendees

As in previous years, the focus of the exhibition was on interoperability and the diverse use of products by end users for various purposes. The expo was opened by a speech from the Israeli Deputy Defense Minister, Eli Ben Dahan; and visitors included both procurement and end users from the public and private sectors. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in defense technology and watch live demonstrations showcasing a variety of products. In addition to the emphasis on interoperability and business development, ISDEF 2017 also dedicated a great deal of resources to promoting and sharing professional knowledge among manufacturers, distributers and end users. This displayed in a conference that took place alongside the exhibition and featured world renowned lecturers from the IDC, INSS, Tel Aviv University and more. The conference took place in addition to the workshops and discussed global concerns from immigration to homegrown terrorism and the impact on HLS and the financial issues. ISDEF 2017 was also the main event celebrating 25 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and India. This manifested in the presence of official Indian delegations at the diplomatic level, including as an Indian national pavilion of 400 Square meters. In addition to the Indian pavilion, ISDEF also featured national pavilions on an unprecedented scale; including Czech Republic, China and U.S pavilion with 30 exhibitors. This year's expo proved that quality and quantity need not come at the expense of each other. With more than 14,000 attendees and almost 300 exhibitors, ISDEF 2017 also featured advanced products and technologies by leading companies such as IMI Systems, HP, Plasan, Surefire, Schmidt & Bender, Steiner, ECA Group, Avon Protection and Beth-El Industries. Overall, ISDEF 2017 exceeded the expectations of the event organizers, exhibitors and visitors alike. With record media exposure, diplomatic engagement and attendance, ISDEF 2017 set a high bar for future defense exhibitions in Israel; and we are confident that we will exceed all expectations at ISDEF's next event.
