Formats designed to contribute to strategic and operational dialogue

The Eurosatory by iDeaS programme is based on a wide range of formats tailored to the nature of the subjects under discussion and designed to meet the expectations of an audience comprising practicians, decision makers and analysts from the defence and security sector.

  • Keynote Speech

A platform for leaders. Ministers, military chiefs of staff, CEOs or world-level experts take to the stage to share a strategic vision, an objective or a powerful message.

  • Panel Discussion

The Eurosatory signature format. A panel of between three and five specialists meet to discuss the major challenges in defence and security: AI on the battlefield, electromagnetic warfare, dual innovation, logistics in a degraded environment, etc. High-value-added exchanges between decision makers, operatives and innovators.

  • Lessons Learned

Feedback from the ground, from programmes and from laboratories. An interactive format to share real-world experience: theatre of operations, European projects, tactical experiments.

All sessions are open to accredited visitors, and no advance registration is required.
