Future Artillery Conference 2026 | 19–21 May | London, UK

The 25th annual Future Artillery Conference 2026 takes place on 19–21 May 2026 at Novotel London West, bringing together senior artillery commanders, NATO and allied forces, and industry to address how fires must adapt for high‑intensity, peer conflict.

This three‑day conference examines the future of artillery in an ISR‑saturated, contested battlespace – from long‑range precision fires, counter‑reconnaissance and survivability, to integrated fires, ammunition sustainment and multinational interoperability. Featuring operational lessons from Ukraine and beyond, Future Artillery Conference 2026 provides a critical forum to align doctrine, technology and industrial capacity for the fight ahead.

The full conference agenda and speaker line-up is coming soon. In the meantime, you can download the concept agenda to learn more about the key themes and discussions taking place in May this year. 

The 2023 agenda will explore how best to deliver fires in the multi-domain battlespace, exploring future force structure, leveraging C2ISR to expand capability, challenges in munition supply chains, as well as increasing the precision and range of the next generation of artillery systems.
