The aim of TechNet Europe 2008 is to examine information sharing, both the theory and the practice.  We shall examine new technologies and the challenges of information transfer, not least the electro-magnetic spectrum.  Security issues are ever present and we shall examine the commercial marketplace both in terms of hardware and software to see what can be used in the battlespace.

The event will consist of a symposium, workshops, a network night plus a supporting exhibition that will feature the latest technology trends.

The workshops will feature sessions led by Mr. Dag Wilhelmsen, General Manager NATO C3 Agency and Lieutenant General Ulrich Wolf, GE AR, Director NATO CIS Services Agency (NCSA) where attendees will have the opportunity to question senior NATO leadership about their Agencies.  In addition the same facility will re-introduce our ‘Product Pavilion’ giving industry the opportunity for an in-depth demonstration of their latest equipment.

And you can always relax at out Network Night that offers an informal atmosphere to network or simply to enjoy the company of others in convivial surroundings.

The Symposium will consist of keynote speeches made by eminent invited speakers and presentations selected following a "Call for Papers" to be issued in January 2008.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Howell
