Proposed Themes Outlined For 2010!
DEFSEC Atlantic has established several exciting
themes for 2010 as we look to keep our event
topical and relevant. Emerging challenges and
industry opportunities in the space field have
led us to invite NASA, the Canadian Space Agency
and the European Space Agency to participate in
our Exhibition this year. Following on our
successful keynote and panel presentations on
Arctic Sovreignty, DEFSEC will be focusing on
Space Surveillance and its potential for
enhancing security, environmental study and
regulation enforcement on land and sea.
Also in the 2010 program we will have a Canadian
Forces Outlook presentation on current and
upcoming procurement projects. In 2009, Industry
Canada, Public Works and Government Services
Canada and the Canadian Forces Materiel Group
presented a comprehensive picture of policy and
the status of progams and plans around
procurement. We anticipate another informative
session this year.
A growing and exciting feature of DEFSEC
Atlantic has become the increased participation
of Trade Commissioners from several countries
and the companies they bring along to explore
partnership potential with Canadian companies.
In 2010, we are planning for a major contingent
from the United Kingdom and have established a
"UK Pavilion" within the Exhibtion Hall. We look
forward to welcoming many returning participants
under this new initiative and attracting even
more first time UK companies. We are
significantly increasing our private meeting
room capacity for 2010 as this feature has
become so popular for the one-on-one sessions
that the incoming companies desire.
We look forward to securing knowledgeble and
thought-provoking speakers and keeping you
informed on our program development and
schedule.
