ACE is proud to announce its role as a media partner of the 11th Annual Helicopter Technology Central and Eastern Europe Conference, organised by SAE Media Group and taking place on 20–21 May 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic.
As rotary-wing platforms continue to play a vital role in land, sea, and air operations, helicopter fleets across Central and Eastern Europe are reaching a critical point in their lifecycle. Many nations are facing the complex challenge of sustaining legacy platforms while pursuing cost-effective modernisation and integrating new-generation helicopters — all while ensuring interoperability with allied forces.
Helicopter Technology Central and Eastern Europe is the only conference dedicated exclusively to these challenges through a focused regional lens. The event provides a unique platform for military leaders, programme managers, and technical decision-makers to exchange insight on procurement strategies, fleet upgrades, sustainment, and future deployment of rotary-wing capabilities across the region.
The conference offers direct access to Air Force and Army helicopter decision-makers and places strong emphasis on joint operations and NATO interoperability. Attendees gain first-hand perspectives from senior-level speakers, including programme leads, engineers, and operational commanders responsible for delivering frontline capability.
Key topics include:
- Regional helicopter modernisation and upgrade programmes
- Sustainment and lifecycle management of rotary-wing fleets
- Interoperability and joint operations within NATO frameworks
- Operational lessons and technical innovation in helicopter deployment
With its strong focus on high-level content and meaningful networking, Helicopter Technology Central and Eastern Europe 2026 is widely recognised as a definitive meeting point for those shaping the future of rotary-wing forces in Central and Eastern Europe.
As a media partner, ACE is pleased to support an event that contributes to strengthening operational effectiveness, resilience, and future readiness of military aviation across the region. We look forward to covering key developments, expert insights, and outcomes from the conference.
“If you want deep insight and meaningful exchange with military aviation specialists, just come here.”
