Conference Documentation: Future Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe
Due to the huge success of our inaugural Future Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe conference in Prague, June 2015, we are delighted to announce return to the Czech Republic once again for our 2016 event.
The participants of Future Armoured Vehicles Eastern Europe 2016 will cover the whole value chain of the armoured vehicle equipment market. The speakers and invited participants will be carefully selected to bring together those with active requirements for armoured vehicles and will ensure that as well as military leaders, the OEMS and prime contractors participate. We will also make sure that the very latest technology innovators will be present to share their ground breaking equipment with a captive audience all looking to advance their combat vehicle programmes.
