Now in its 27th year, the International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) Conference has established itself as the global hub for armoured vehicle capability, collaboration, and innovation.
Today, the conference attracts 1,600+ armour-relevant stakeholders from over 60 nations, connecting military leadership, programme owners, government stakeholders, OEMs, and solution providers from across the entire armoured vehicles ecosystem. Together, they share lessons from modern conflict, showcase emerging technologies, and accelerate the development of next-generation mounted capability.
As threats evolve and battlefield requirements change, IAV provides the forum where the global armoured community meets to exchange insight, challenge assumptions, and define the future of ground combat.
Join the people shaping how armoured forces will fight, today and tomorrow.
