IT²EC takes off

New Delhi. 24 April 2023. Accelerating simulation and training for NATO and global partners; enhancing multi-domain operational capabilities is the theme for the just begun 2023 edition of the IT²EC conference. This is in response to the events occurring in Ukraine, which gives it an intent to significantly increase the NATO focus at the event. Looking at how innovation and training can benefit nations and their allies in evolving their response in future and current operations.

A defence technology conference and exhibition for the military, this three-day exhibition and conference gathers a broad selection of the defence industry’s brightest minds from across Europe and beyond. Here, knowledge for the future of military training is shared and the technology which shapes it, can be experienced.

IT²EC provides an ideal platform for organisations to:
• Showcase evolving product and service solutions
• Monitor competitor and collaborator activities
• Evaluate emerging trends and technologies
• Network with new and existing connections
• Discover new technology and shape future initiatives

A conference and exhibition for technological advancements in military training IT²EC is Europe’s largest International Training Technology Exhibition and Conference where the defence industry connect and where the knowledge which underpins current and future military technology solutions is shared. Held annually, governments, military and defence industry and academia representatives come together to discover IT²EC over three days. Access the latest content, experience immersive technology and strengthen relationships through valuable business and networking opportunities.

Addressing the overarching theme of Accelerating simulation and training for NATO and global partners, the IT²EC 2023 conference offers delegates a choice of concurrent sessions across three pillars:
• Technologies and Architectures
• Human Performance
• Emerging Solutions

The story behind T² – Training and Technology is interesting. As the event enters its fourth decade serving the military training community, the organisers felt it was the right time for an updated identity to accurately reflect our increasing focus on the technology which underpins current and future technology solutions. Originally known as ITEC, the event has served the military training community for more than 30 years, witnessing a period of intensive innovation and new product development so we have made a small but significant change. The event is now known as the International Training Technology Exhibition & Conference (IT²EC).

Breaking boundaries of simulation and training for successful multi-domain operations is the theme of the Disruptive Technology (DisTec) show floor experience, which is designed to provide an immersive environment at the exhibition, whilst the DisTec Theatre will discuss the latest technological breakthroughs reshaping the military training and simulation community.

Designed for those making advances in defence training and technology
IT²EC invites organisations specialising in military training and simulation technology to demonstrate their cutting-edge solutions within our bustling exhibition area. Almost 70% of our audience play a key role in influencing purchasing decisions within their organisations, this is the perfect opportunity for you to connect directly with potential customers and pave the way for new partnerships.

Exhibitors are presenting their solutions to senior military and government officials, including representatives from NATO and the host-nation MOD. Some of the prominent ones are BAE Systems, CAE, Rafael, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, Saab, Wescom Defence and NATO amongst other.
