What's New for IAVs 2012?
For 2012, we've taken the most successful aspects of our previous events, and have built on them to create a powerful programme that is both quality-driven and customisable to your needs. We have re-focused central themes, bulked up with an international speaker faculty, and have moved the event to Farnborough.
Here is a snapshot of the new features you can look forward to:
Most Prestigious Speaker Faculty to Date

For 2012, the Defence IQ team is proud to announce our most senior-level speaker line-up ever, which includes 50+ Generals, Brigadiers, Commanders and Lieutenant Commanders from global militaries.
