February 23-25, 2027

Delivering Integrated Rotary and Uncrewed Aviation Capabilities to 2040 and Beyond 

Now in its 26th year, the International Military Helicopter Conference (IMH) will return to the Novotel London West in February 2027. As the longest-standing and most respected forum dedicated to rotary wing capability development and cooperation, IMH continues to bring together the most influential stakeholders from across the global rotary wing community. Military leaders, operators, procurement heads and industry experts will once again convene to share insight, strengthen collaboration, and explore the future of vertical lift.

As nations continue to modernise legacy fleets and invest in next-generation platforms, the evolving international environment presents increasingly complex operational challenges. From contested environments to the rapid advancement of emerging technologies, rotary aviation remains central to delivering critical effects across the modern battlespace.

IMH 2027 will provide a platform for senior decision-makers and subject matter experts to address the key issues shaping rotary capability today and in the future, while facilitating valuable discussion on how to sustain readiness, enhance interoperability, and maximise the effectiveness of current and future fleets.
