We are proud to present our 9th annual
Helicopter Technology Central and Eastern Europe conference, on the 15 - 16 of May 2024, in Prague, Czech Republic.
The
Helicopter Technology Central and Eastern Europe conference will provide you with the perfect platform to assist and share vital knowledge to helicopter program managers and practitioners, as well as technical experts and system integrators.
Rotary platforms remain a key asset for supporting operations on land, sea, and air. But due to the increasing distinct pressures faced by legacy rotary platforms of the Central and Eastern Europe states, NATO's Eastern Flank faces a critical juncture for maintaining effectiveness across all operational capabilities supported by their fleets.
Therefore, our focused regional conference provides a unique forum to ensure the continued sustainment, cost-effective modernisation, and interoperability of helicopter technology in the region.
Reasons why you can't afford to miss this:
- Unmatched direct access to Air Force and Army Rotary Platform Officers
- A unique focus on multipurpose helicopter technology and joint force interoperability
- Regional Perspectives regarding procurement, upgrades, maintenance, and training
- High level discussions featuring technical managers and project engineers from military as well as industry tackling the key challenges which face helicopter technology production, procurement, utilisation, and maintenance
- Informal networking time so you can gather insight from peers and colleagues also shaping and influencing regional helicopter programmes today
