Pakistan’s IDEAS 2026 defence exhibition, planned for November 24–27 at Karachi Expo Centre, has been officially cancelled, according to its website. Organisers under DEPO cited a “geo-strategic imbroglio” as the reason. All exhibitor, visitor and stall registrations have been permanently closed, and the online portal shut. No details on rescheduling or future editions have been announced so far.
Pakistan’s International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2026, which was expected to be one of the major defence industry gatherings in the region, has been officially called off, according to an announcement posted on its official website.
The event had been planned for 24–27 November 2026 at the Karachi Expo Centre and was to be organised under the Defence Export Promotion Organisation (DEPO), a body functioning under Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production.
An official notice on the event’s portal confirms that the exhibition will no longer be held as scheduled. It also states that all categories of participation, including exhibitor, trade visitor, and stall construction registrations, have been shut down permanently. The online registration system has been disabled, preventing any further applications.
The organisers have attributed the decision to what they described as the prevailing “geo-strategic imbroglio,” without providing additional details on the specific circumstances leading to the cancellation.
