Systems Life Cycle Management in NATO

Integrated Logistic Support – Requirements and Smart Solutions

After five successful LCM conferences in Brussels in 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, this meeting addresses the subject of Life Cycle Management concentrating on the aspects of Integrated Logistics Support and Smart Implementations.

The conference will provide a forum for the exchange of views and ideas, of new and proven approaches for life cycle management and logistics integration among and between decision makers, programme managers experts and logisticians both from industry and military organisations.

The conference is organised in cooperation with the NATO Life Cycle Management Group (LCMG) and the NATO Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG) and will be accompanied by a small, dedicated exhibition, where industry is offered the opportunity to showcase capabilities and products.

Like in previous years, speakers, delegates and exhibitors will take advantage of the luxurious ambience of the Pullman (ex-Sofitel) Brussels Airport Hotel, which has already provided proof of its value and capabilities as the venue of similar such events in the past few years
