Eurosatory Conferences by iDeaS
Beyond the exhibition, a venue for influence and strategic thought
At a time when international power balances are being profoundly reconfigured, Eurosatory stands out as a reference platform for analysis, debate and projection around the leading trends in defence, security and technological innovation.
Through its Eurosatory by iDeaS programme, the show offers more than 100 high-level sessions drawing on contributions from civilian and military experts, policymakers, industrial business leaders, researchers and specialist journalists, hailing from all over the world.
Structuring Focus Areas within a Broad and Cross-Cutting Programme
Eurosatory by iDeaS offers a range of formats designed to provide in-depth analysis of the major strategic, operational and technological challenges shaping defence and security. Each session is crafted to deliver concrete, actionable insights—whether you are a decision-maker, an operational leader or an industry expert.
The conferences address the full spectrum of capability and operational transformations reshaping today’s battlespace. From aero-terrestrial capabilities to space integration, from information superiority to infrastructure resilience, discussions explore domain convergence and the growing importance of multi-domain operations, in close collaboration with military headquarters, specialized commands and leading industry stakeholders.
The programme also highlights breakthrough technologies and evolving modes of engagement. Artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, electromagnetic warfare, advanced simulation, drone massification and counter-drone capabilities are examined alongside engaged forces, testing centres, innovation agencies and cutting-edge industrial actors—accelerating capability transformation.
Particular attention is given to operational feedback and contemporary crisis management. The Ukraine focus sheds light on the operational and industrial lessons of high-intensity conflict, while sessions dedicated to security and crisis response examine defence–security continuity in the face of hybrid threats, in dialogue with civil authorities, international organizations and technology providers.
