IMDEX Asia 2023

The International Maritime IMDEX is Asia's biggest naval and maritime event. This year's exhibition was held in Singapore from 3-5 May 2023.

The International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (IMDEX) Asia, held biennially, was previously held at Changi Naval Base (Singapore), but the convention itself was shifted to the Changi Exhibition Centre (CEC).

The CEC is located on a plot of land just beyond the northern edge perimeter fencing of the new Changi Air Base (East).
