About Land Forces 3

The biennial Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition is the premier gateway to the land defence markets of Australia and the region, and a platform for interaction with major prime contractors from the United States and Europe.

With strong commitment from the Australian Army and a substantial Asian, European and US industry presence, Land Forces provides an interface between Australian, regional and international industry on every level, from Defence Force customers to prime contractors, small to medium enterprises and start-up companies.

The Exposition

In addition to hosting senior international military, defence, government, scientific and industry delegations from around the world, Land Forces will attract a comprehensive array of defence professionals and trade visitors at all levels.

Via a three day program integrating Australia’s largest defence industry exhibition, a comprehensive mix of expert presentations, conferences and symposia exploring the current challenges and opportunities arising within the land defence sector and daily networking opportunities, Land Forces 2024 will set the stage for business and engagement.

Australian Army at Land Forces 2024

In 2024, the Australian Army's Chief of Army Symposium (CAS) will be held at Land Forces – this is the first time since 2018 it has been held in conjunction with the event.

CAS 2024 will be accompanied by the Army Innovation Day (AID) and Quantum Technology Challenge (QTC) expositions rounding out Army’s program at Land Forces 2024 and giving industry and academia a chance to respond to Army’s current challenges with innovative technologies.

Registration

Land Forces 2024 is an industry-only trade exposition reserved for those with a professional, defence, governmental agency, business, academic, scientific, operational or response involvement in land defence related government and industry sectors. The event is not open to the general public.
