LANDPORTFOLIO
LAND PORTFOLIO
Ground forces play an integral role in current operations. Continuous deployment, whether on peace support
missions, humanitarian assistance or on Combat Operations have pushed manpower and equipment to the limit.
Modernisation, a greater emphasis on protection and survivability and the demands for greater connectivity have
become the overriding drivers in this space. Now the key for land equipment is to get the right quantity, of appropriate
quality, into the right places. Defence IQ’s land portfolio covers these issues, allowing you to delve into the equipment
and doctrinal challenges that will face land forces for decades to come.

6. UPCOMING EVENTS
JANUARY:
CYBER WARFARE
London, UK
Reducing the reliance on networked information for your operations,
communications and data storage is not an option. However, this heightened
dependence does lead to increased levels of risk and potential consequences
from malicious attacks and hackers. Cyber space resilience is integral to national
security strategies, and ensuring you build impenetrable network defence
capabilities is essential to maintain security.
Defence IQ’s international Cyber Warfare conference is Europe’s most established
symposium dedicated to military and governmental Computer Network Operations.
Combining insights on policy, legislation and technology advances alongside threat
identification, we establish the operational challenges and requirements that
military organisations and governments face.Whether developing internal
measures or integrating new protective technologies, the demand for protective
solutions is growing.With the changing face of cyber operations, ensure you hear
first hand the tailored solutions to secure Computer Network Operations.

Now in its 9th year, is the best attended and most influential meeting of its kind
in the world. It is here that the world’s leading figures from the Influence,
Psychological Operations, Strategic Communications and Public Diplomacy
communities gather to share new conceptual thinking, policy updates and key
Lessons Learned from ongoing Information campaigns.
Discussions will shed new light on the following crucial issues:
• Target Audience engagement and message delivery technique
• The employment of New and Social Media for influence activity and harnessing
all available assets
• The coordination of messages between different “information actors” in the
global media environment
• The Measurement of Effect of information campaigns
• The relationship between PsyOps, IO and Strategic Communication

The practicalities of operational issues affecting the development and deployment
of networked enabled capabilities will be analysed both in terms of operational
benefits identified and lessons learned in theatre, along with the effect today’s
military realities have on progress in the next five years:
• Operational Information Management: Enabling interactive C2, responsive logistic,
target acquisition, FFT, intelligence, and other computer applications and
databases to be used by in real time by Operators and Commanders on the ground
• Building impenetrable network security:National protection strategies and operational
security for Computer Network Operations (CNO) for the expanded network
• Transformation:As the battle space has dictated how the networks have
developed rather than the networks dictating future operations, how is
interoperability being increased with coalition forces operating in the same
congested battlespace through effective networking
• Ensuring mission success on the expanded network, including user driven
applications from the tactical and operational level
• Human factors and training: Enabling officers on the ground to manage and
disseminate the abundance of information received during operations

UPCOMING EVENTS
FEBRUARY:
AVIATION SECURITY
London, UK
Aviation Security 2011 will build on the success of IQPC’s other Aviation / Airport
Security conferences in the US, Singapore, Dubai and India and bring the event to
a European audience. In order for airport authorities and airline operators to be
compliant with the expanding and increasingly stringent compliance
requirements placed upon them by national and European legislation, they are
forced to spend increasing amounts of money on new security equipment,
personnel and training. However, besides higher costs, these stringent measures
also result in decreased rates of passenger through-put which means reduced
profits for the airports and airlines. Meeting compliance standards is made more
difficult by a lack of clarity as to what requirements the aviation security should
meet, when to meet them, how they can meet them and the technologies
available to them. Present at the conference will be leading security
representatives from the world’s busiest airports, international airline operators,
associations and law-making bodies as well as from technology providers, to
discuss the modern security threats and challenges facing the industry, the
strategies to overcome these and the technology solutions available to help them
do this.
APRIL:
BIOMETRICS FOR DEFENCE AND SECURITY
Brussels, Belgium
Biometrics for Defence and Security is designed to offer a practical approach as to
how biometrics can be used for security and defence needs. It will look at
Government and MoD policy, screening, privacy issues, technology options and
standards. Most importantly it will look at how to ‘connect the dots’ in screening
and identifying possible threats with a higher level of accuracy and efficiency by
using biometric technology.

SECURITY PORTFOLIO
The world is closer and better connected than ever. But
the benefits of Globalisation, mass transport and
revolutionised communications also bring new threats
from international terrorism and crime. National
security is now at the top of every nation’s agenda.
People and infrastructure are no longer far removed
from conflict zones thousands of miles away as terrorist
violence in the US, Spain, UK and India has made
painfully clear. Our enemies are only to happy to target
our “soft spots”. Recent attacks on civilians at border
points and the crucial transport links we depend upon
reveal our vulnerability. Yet the constant development
of strategy and technology allows us to counter these
threats. Defence IQ is committed to facilitating the
exploration of how we increase our national security.
From border control to Aviation Security to Biometric
technologies, we’ll bring together the Government and
security stakeholders who matter, leveraging their
expertise to make our world safer.

SPONSORSHIP
ABOUT DEFENCE IQ
Defence IQ is host to a series of global events and runs an online community of military and private sector
professionals.We provide the platform on which leading defence experts share their experience, knowledge and
strategic thoughts.We are dedicated to providing military personnel and the private sector with strategic defence
resources covering current defence issues. Join the community: http://www.defenceiq.com/join.cfm
Why Invest In Conferencing as a Marketing & PR Vehicle?
It’s a strange phenomenon, but our conferences actually become even more effective for our sponsors in a tighter
market. Budget cuts mean that certain military attendees at our events (the uniforms that look like active buyers,
but aren’t) disappear.They disappear because their attendance is a marginal need for their organisation.They
don’t have a specific & explicit requirement to address, so the budget for their attendance gets stopped.
Consequently, the percentage of military attendees who have a genuine and pressing requirement that they do
need to address – and have funding available to address it – goes up.
Defence IQ events provide you with extensive range of sponsorship platforms, enabling you to build relationships
and promote your organisation in three key areas:Thought Leadership, Branding and Featured Networking Events.
