.
DSEI 2015 surpassed all previous records:
• 34,038 visitors - up 6% from 32,169 in 2013
• 1,683 exhibitors representing 54 countries - up 13% from 2013

The organisers had a reduced security bill for the event. In 2013 the Met charged £987,000 to ensure security at the show. A FOI request reveals the 2015 cost to be £748,000
In 2013 2,600 security guards were supplied by G4S but this was reduced to 1,980 for this year, we do not know the costs of this.
