We are proud to present the 8th Annual
Defence Logistics Central and Eastern Europe Conference, taking place on the 1st and 2nd of March 2023 in Budapest, Hungary.
The
Defence Logistics Central and Eastern Europe conference is revered as the highest-level meeting for defence logistic leaders and supply chain managers from the region's most forward-thinking military nations. As the only logistics conference specifically dedicated to the region, this is the critical forum where senior officers, military logistics commanders, and industry experts are brought together to discuss the modernisation and cooperation of defence logistics from the High North to the Black Sea.
The importance of defence logistics as a capability in its own right continues to grow with the increasing prevalence of systematic multilateral cooperation between armed forces and the continual development of new technologies with exciting logistics application. Through extensive research and consultation across the industry, Defence Logistics Central and Eastern Europe 2023 will continue to break the mould and create an event that will channel these developments and reflect the most pressing priorities of NATO allies and partners.
Furthermore, the conflict in Ukraine has reinforced the fundamental importance of logistics as the facilitator of tactical, operational, and strategic military capabilities. From ensuring the security of essential supplies to maintaining the frontline troops, this event will provide a forum to consider and respond the profound implications of the conflict on the region.
We strive to deliver real insight and genuine learning experiences which can be applied to optimise the future of defence logistics for the Central and Eastern Europe region.
