SPIE Defense + Security 2027: World’s Leading Optics and Photonics Meet for Defense

The SPIE Defense + Security show welcomes the sharpest minds in defense tech, all comparing notes on the newest sensors, lasers, and imaging systems. SPIE Defense + Security 2027 runs from April 20 to 22, 2027, in Orlando, FL. It is organized by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics; this show pulls in researchers, engineers, and defense professionals from all over the world. If you are into the business of work touch sensors, infrared tech, laser systems, or imaging, this is where your buyers already are.

Around 5,000 attendees are expected, along with 250+ exhibiting companies like A.J. Tuck Co., Active Optical Systems, LLC, Blue Ridge Optics, LLC, Chroma Technology Corp, and more. Big names in defense show up here every year, alongside national labs and research groups working on the same problems from different angles. The floor covers thermal cameras, optical filters, detector arrays, hyperspectral imaging, radar, lidar, and AI-driven sensing tools. Here at SPIE Defense + Security Show 2027, companies can pick a layout based on their goals and their budget. A compact 10×10 booth can be chosen for the purpose of collecting leads and presenting a few hero products. A 10×20 configuration setup gives space to display a quantity of products and hold small meetings without feeling congested. If the company wants separate areas for product demos or needs a private space for serious business talks, a 20×20 larger island booth is the right fit. Moreover, outside the exhibit hall, there’s a full week of technical talks, training courses, and expert sessions on the topics related to optics & photonics.
