SecD-Day 2027 - with theme ''Northern Flank'' promotes Finland’s comprehensive security by producing information on current topics, products and services of the defence, security and aerospace industries. The two-day curated event consists of a conference programme and an exhibition.

SecD-Day was organised by Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries – PIA for the first time in Helsinki in the spring of 2023. The second edition of the conference and exhibition was held with great success in 2025, with ca. 5000 visitors and sold-out exhibition space.
The third event in 2027 with largest exhibition space to date - sold-out - will be held at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre (Messukeskus). We are expecting 10 000 visitors with high number of official delegations, and presenting exhibitors from various countries around the globe.

The Northern Flank
The theme for the third edition of SecD-Day is ”Northern Flank”. The programme, designed and built by PIA, will offer insights through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and industry presentations, in addition to the official opening session.

The event will feature a diverse lineup of speakers, whose names will be published in the Autumn of 2026.

”SecD-Day increases direct interaction between defence, security, space and aviation companies and authorities. The new event was already well received the first time it was organised, and it has every chance to grow into a significant event even in the entire Northern European region. Cooperating with the leading event organiser Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre enables the long-term development and growth of the event.”

– Tuija Karanko, Secretary General of The Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries – PIA
