THE WORLD'S LEADING EVENT SERIES DEDICATED TO THE ARMOURED VEHICLES COMMUNITY
Armoured Vehicles
Event Series
It’s incredible to think that this year’s International Armoured Vehicles conference marks our 11th year. We’ve had an
amazing ride growing the event from a small 40 delegate conference, to the world’s largest dedicated forum for
armoured vehicles and, as far as we’re concerned, the ride has only just begun!
On the way we’ve seen our exhibition expand from 1 single stand, to the 100s of exhibits and landmark vehicles you see
in front of you today. Our delegates? Well in 2001 we kicked off with a choice 40 people, now our event sees over 2600
attendees from 40 countries walk through our doors across 4 days of high level conference and networking.
Perhaps most importantly, It’s on the strength of this increased international representation that we’ve been able to
expand the portfolio to a further 5 regional events in the most exciting markets across 3 continents, all built on the direct
wishes and support of those regional forces who have come to depend on our brand.
So if you’re interested in getting involved in some of the most exciting regions, why not have a look at some
of the options we provide?

“International armoured vehicles is a great platform for us to show products which don’t
come under the ITAR restrictions to a market that needs non ITAR products”
- Ian Richards, Managing Director, ArmourWorks International
“It’s an armoured vehicles family here, and this is something you cannot find if you’re
just going to an exhibition. Here, for every single application of an armoured vehicle, you
can find the specialist to talk to.”
– Michael Klein, Director, Defence and Security, Hutchinson
“What’s interesting is since I’ve left there I’ve been stopped about 4 or 5 times on the way
back to the stand, where people say well that’s good we’d like to know a little bit more about
that or we didn’t realise you were doing that, so with regards to raising the OshKosh profile
and some of the work we’re doing particularly on the innovation side that’s been fantastic.”
– Barry Gee, UK Support Manager, Oshkosh Defense
