Trade visitor Admission Policy

AAD2012 is open to Official Defence Delegations, Exhibitors’ Guests, AAD2012 VIP's, Department of Defence, foreign delegations, Media and Trade visitors. Anyone wishing to attend the exhibition (including those who have been invited by an exhibitor) must pre-register via the AAD2012 website and make use of the Trade Registration number, indicated on the Trade invitation.

Registrations will be opened from April 2012 and will close on 21 September 2012 to ensure there is adequate time to process accreditation prior to the event. We cannot guarantee to process registrations in time for posting submitted after this time.

By using a Trade Registration number to register, you are giving permission to AAD to contact you with relevant show information.

Please note that media must apply online to comply with the accreditation process, which includes providing photographs for badges.

During the trade days (19-21 September 2012) there will be a limited onsite registration facility. Expect delays.
