International Armoured Vehicles Conference

January 20-23, 2020

Twickenham, London, United Kingdom

The Worlds Premier Armoured Vehicles Forum

2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) conference.

Since our first armoured vehicles event in 2001, we've seen the rapid evolution of land power doctrine and technology. 2001 was the start of an extended period of counter-insurgency and counter-terror fighting, leading to the rapid acquisition of armoured vehicles, innovation in counter-IED technology and the proliferation of unmanned aerial systems. Now, we see the emergence of multi-domain concepts of operation, a reorientation towards high-end peer conflict and the aggressive pursuit of disruptive technologies in AI and Robotics, which are sure to revolutionise and re-energise debate within the land forces community - not least, the armoured vehicles market.
