The resounding success of the inaugural EuMW Defence/Security Executive Forum at EuMW 2010 in Paris has prompted the joint organisers, the European Microwave Association (EuMA) and the Microwave Journal, to expand European Microwave Week's coverage of the Defence/Security sector with a full-day Forum.

Following the format that attracted over 200 attendees in Paris, the 2011 EuMW Defence/Security Executive Forum also attracted hundreds of participants and offered delegates the opportunity to benefit from the expertise and experience of representatives from government defence agencies and leading defence/security contractors who provided insights into how their organizations view future threats to global safety, security and defence, and the role of technology in addressing these risks. The Executive Forum concluded with an open panel discussion with questions from the floor.

The Executive Forum kept its established early evening time slot and was preceded and complemented by morning and afternoon sessions. The agenda included a Keynote which will set the scene and offer an overview of prevalent defence and security issues as well as a must-see industry perspective panel on RF/microwave technology for Defence related applications.


The presentations of the morning sessions, the lunch sessions, the afternoon sessions 1 and 2,  and some of the round table discussions are available at this website.
