Responding to the growing requirement for military training and simulation expertise: Developments to ITEC 2015 programme are showcased at I/ITSEC 2014.
During the last 25 years, the annual ITEC exhibition and conference has provided an important and evolving platform for the military simulation and training community. ITEC offers a unique opportunity, both to global military and civil customers, to discuss their requirements with industry, and for industry to showcase their latest innovations to meet these needs.
ITEC is seen as a key event for stakeholders in both the established and emerging modelling, simulation and training (MS&T) markets. Leading prime and SME exhibitors from around the world, use ITEC to demonstrate their cutting edge technology and services to a growing number of international military, security, government, academic and civil sector attendees to ITEC.
Participation from the United States becomes all the more important as US companies look to strengthen their international customer base in regions where there has been a significant increase in the use of MS&T technology. A key new theme of the 2015 conference will address the opportunities and challenges for industry in international procurement.
The annual Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) event provides a key opportunity for ITEC 2015 to engage with the domestic MS&T community. As part of this engagement, Rear Admiral Simon Williams, Chairman of Clarion Defence and Security, and Rear Admiral Jim Robb, President NTSA, will host an industry breakfast briefing at I/ITSEC on Wednesday 3rd December, 0930-1030 in meeting room S310B.
The briefing will publicise significant developments to the ITEC 2015 programme, including the participation of senior international military representatives, and highlight the key themes of the 2015 edition in Prague.
Tess Butler, ITEC 2015 Conference Chair and Public Relations Director of Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) will set out how the event has broadened its focus - giving increased prominence to the customer voice, while enabling industry to reach decision makers from current and emerging markets.
Ms Butler said: "The formation of ITEC's Military Advisory and Medical Advisory Panels demonstrates the increasingly close dialogue ITEC has developed with the international customer community. This engagement is reflected by the overarching theme of ITEC 2015, 'Advancing Interoperability between Nations and Institutions in a Globalised World through Enhanced Training and Education', while the addition of 'Procurement' to the conference agenda will address the challenges of transforming requirements into delivery. The ITEC proposition will be further expanded by the establishment of an Academic Advisory Panel, the first meeting of which will take place in the new year. We anticipate that ITEC 2015 will offer the most collaborative,compelling and informative edition of the event to date."
Rear Admiral Simon Williams explains: "By working closely with armed forces from around the world, ITEC 2015 will present a comprehensive response to advancing interoperability between nations and institutions through enhanced training and education. As well as staying a step ahead of the trends in the MS&T sector, the success of ITEC has always rested on meeting current operational requirements. It is this continuity of focus on the military and civil end user that will allow ITEC to continue this success and remain a key event in the MS&T calendar."
