What is "eurosatory"

Eurosatory is an international defence and security industry trade show that is held every two years in Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, Paris. In 2014 it had over 1000 exhibitors and over 55,700 visitors. It is organized by COGES in partnership with the French Ministry of Defense. The event in 2010 was the tenth Eurosatory exhibition. The first was held in 1992, at Le Bourget.

This show succeeded earlier shows organized since 1967 by the French military procurement agency at the Camp Satory, thus the name.
