About IDGA's MILITARY VEHICLES EXHIBITION & CONFERENCE

The Genesis of Military Vehicles Exhibition & Conference (MVEC) took place 4 years ago amidst two Wars and a vehicle buying spree by the army.

Four years later we find ourselves in a different world – the wars have ended (or are ending) and the US Military is focusing on getting our vehicles home and in proper condition as opposed to buying new ones. In addition, Special Operations are having a more prevalent role in the vehicle community particularly with urban up armament and the international community is now in purchase mode.

Consequently, the largest Military Vehicle Exhibition in the world is evolving. New for 2012 are dedicated pavilions in the exhibit hall with conference tracks focused on:

-Allied International Buying Nations

-Special Operations and Urban Vehicles

-RESET and Logistics

As a result of the new, more focused Military Vehicle Exhibition & Conference we are seeing some positive trends including:

-Over 25 different countries have representatives signed up to attend.

-Every major OEM – OshKosh, Textron, Navistar, Lockheed Martin, GDLS, Force Protection, AM General, Northrop Grumman – have already signed up.

-Exhibit hall attendance is tracking over 30% ahead of where we were last year.

-Conference attendance is currently up over 130% ahead of last year.

Don’t miss the opportunity to strengthening partnerships across the globe by:

-Networking with over 2,500 domestic and international attendees

-Hearing presentations from 45+ outstanding military vehicle experts

-Attending two days of conference briefings, one pre-conference focus day and one post-conference workshop day with more than 200 attendees

-Evaluating products from over 250 exhibitors side-by-side from across the world

MVEC 2012 is your chance to come together with the largest cross-section of the mil
