TRIP REPORT – LandForces Conference, June 2021
LandForces Conference was on again this year.
It’s billed as a forum for decision-makers throughout the region to enable networking opportunities between manufacturers, senior management (both civil and military), and equipment/service suppliers. This means there’s some really big international conglomerates as well as small business.
