The Defence Logistics UAE 2011 has now run. We would like to thank everyone who attended and participated in the event. The highly successful event will return to the region again in 2012. Be sure to check back as details will be updated regularly.

With over 12 nations represented and as the only focused defence logistics conference in the Middle East, the event provided an overall insight on remaining armed forces maintained and operational in the UAE’s long term strategic goals.

Defence IQ would love to hear from you directly – if you have any comments or feedback from the event, a story or anecdote, or if you'd like to find out how you can participate at our next Defence Logistics event, please email Kim Vigilia at kim.vigilia@iqpc.co.uk.

Held at the Armed Forces Officer’s Club, Abu Dhabi, Defence Logistics UAE 2011 brought together key UAE GHQ decision makers, their GCC allies and military logistics organisations to discuss strategies, programmes and requirements for future operations. Here are some comments from delegates who attended onsite:

“After my insightful experience at 2010 conference I now feel very delighted to return to Defence Logistics UAE forum in 2011. I am looking forward to the conference and to hear and meet the list of interesting expert speakers in the Defence Logistics area. I truly believe there will be many key takeaways from this years’ conference. Hope to see you there!”

Colonel Raimo Petasnoro, Chief of Logistics, Army Materiel Command, Finland
