Dear friend, 

From the 9th to 12th September 2025, Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) will welcome tens of thousands of delegates from weapons corporations, militaries and governments to London to facilitate the death and destruction of the global arms trade. Israel features prominently at DSEI, and arms companies Israel relies on for its genocide of Gaza will be present at DSEI 2025. Take action now and demand the hotels listed as accommodation options for DSEI say NO to DSEI delegates! 

DSEI 2025 official hotel booking partners, EventBeds™ and NuBreed Hotels, list twenty three hotels within a 5km radius of the ExCel Centre for DSEI delegates to book accommodation. Fourteen of these hotels have publicly available email addresses - take action now and demand they say NO to DSEI delegates!

If any of these hotels host DSEI delegates, they will be implicated in the genocidal violence DSEI facilitates. Many of these hotels cost upwards of £500 a night, some more than £800 a night. This is more than the average cost of renting a room for an entire month across most parts of the UK. This is even with rents having reached dangerously high levels and economic precarity ever-worsening, as the government continues to cut welfare to fuel warfare.

CAAT already encouraged you to take action against EventBeds™ and Nubreed Hotels to end their official hotel-booking partnership with DSEI 2025. Now is the time to increase the pressure on the hotels which EventBeds™ and Nubreed Hotels recommend booking.

As the UK’s largest arms fair rapidly approaches, there is also still time to sign and share CAAT’s petition to kick Israel out of DSEI. Thank you so much to all those who have done so already.

CAAT could not continue campaigning against DSEI without your support. Your engagement and efforts are indispensable – everything from taking part in actions, sharing CAAT social media posts, to putting pressure on arms trade stakeholders - is hugely appreciated. If you are in a financial position to be able to consider donating, this too makes a massive difference.

Please support CAAT in our continuing work to STOP DSEI by making a donation to keep CAAT Campaigning.

Thank you for your continued support in resisting DSEI,

Campaign Against Arms Trade
