Land Forces, a defence and security trade expo in Perth, brings together major defence companies and other industry participants. Coverage across outlets says the event lists 964 exhibitors, including prominent global firms such as Boeing and BAE Systems.
The reporting characterises the expo as “controversial,” reflecting broader public debate about the role of defence contractors and military-linked industries in trade events. While the articles focus on behind-the-scenes details, they converge on the scale of participation and the presence of large manufacturers, suggesting the expo functions as a high-profile platform for firms seeking to showcase products and capabilities to potential partners. Other outlets do not highlight the same specific points of dispute, but they share attention on who is attending and what kinds of companies are represented.
