SAFEGUARDING TOMORROW, EXPLORING INNOVATION TODAY: 
GLOBAL SYNERGY IN EOD OPERATIONS FOR A SECURE FUTURE
September 24-25, 2024 I Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington 

Mitigating Global Threats:
A Unified Front Against Explosive Remnants of War and Explosive Ordnance


Ukraine has become the most mined country on earth with around 30% of its land contaminated and the World Bank estimates it will cost at least $37bn to clear the country of mines. Despite progress across counter-IED and explosive ordnance disposal, challenges persist, and ongoing commitment is required to effectively address the complex issue of explosive hazards worldwide.

Countering Explosive Threat & Demining 2024 provides a unique opportunity for the EOD community to engage in productive discussions with nations and industry partners to tackle the challenges in tackling explosive threats. The event brings together military forces, humanitarian groups and governments for a chance to hear presentations on counter-explosive ordnance and to learn about some of the latest advancements in the sector from individuals and groups working on the front lines.

What’s new for 2024:
  • Enhanced attention to  regional challenges in the Middle East and Ukraine
  • Discussion on emerging technologies in the ERW and EOD space: exhibition of new air and robotic technology used to detect and disarm UXO and discussions on the future developments
  • Focus on training requirements in order to tackle explosive threats and presentations on the grassroot work of disposal operators and the challenges they face on the ground.
