Annual Global MilSatCom Conference & Exhibition 2022

SMi's annual 24th Global MilSatCom Conference, described as Europe's leading military event for satellite professionals, returns to London on 8-10 November 2022.

SMi's Global MilSatCom is known as one of Europe's leading military communications events, bringing the satellite community to London for nearly two decades. The conference brings senior military and key industry representatives together to network, benchmark, and learn about key developments to SatCom technology and how this is implemented to fulfil capability gaps as well as critical military and government requirements. 

The conference’s reputation has been built on the high-level international speakers and decision makers it attracts and the fantastic interactive opportunities offered during the 4 days of conference sessions, workshops and networking receptions.

 

This year's event will see developments and updates to international MilSatCom programmes including new nations such as Japan, Republic of Korea, Nigeria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, and Luxemburg. Key themes and challenges at the core of the MilSatCom Community will be addressed, such as the Wideband AoA and GovSatCom initiative, the demand for flexibility and resiliency in a contested environment, ground-segment R&D advances, SatCom-on-the-move capabilities, as well as the surging importance of interoperability and allied international collaborations.

We have 40+ presentations from key military speakers including UK MoD, US Air Force, Japanese Cabinet Office, Canadian Armed Forces, DGA France, Italian MoD, US DoD, Spanish Armed Foces, DISA, NATO, Brazilian Air Force and more. 

There will also be talks from leading defence and space companies such as SES, Airbus, EutelSat, Kratos, Boeing, Thales, Newtec, Lockheed Martin, Hughes Network Systems, Intelsat, ViaSat, Raytheon, Unique Broadband Systems and more. 

Event programme also includes two pre-conference workshops:
