The Air Land Integration Conference will be held in early October 2025.
The 2025 ALI Conference will examine how UK Defence and key partners will re-orientate ALI from COIN to Large Scale Combat Operations. It will build upon the 2024 ALI conference theme of Adapting the Fight; and look at ALI in a contested environment where we will need to seek the integration of all domains. The conference will be organised by Omega Conferences and Events, and be attended by industrial partners; ALI practitioners from the UK, NATO and wider; DE&S and the Air and Army capability customer.
The conference will be run in cooperation with the Joint Air Liaison Organisation at RAF Air Command.
The full agenda is currently being developed.
The ALI Conference will be attended by requirements and acquisition officials from the Land and Air Systems divisions on national procurement bodies, as well as senior military Officers from nations across the world. Also present will be the senior management of the leading industry contractors providing relevant technologies.
For security reasons we will only provide the conference location and dates on request or to registered attendees. Please email enquiries (at) omconf.com. We will not reply to hotmail, gmail type addresses, only verifiable company or government addresses.

The focus of military thinking has returned to conventional operations and countering a near peer threat. This must be done against a background of increased threat and financial restraint that will put training and equipment programmes under pressure. ALI 2025 will feature presentations from various nations that focus on the preparation, training, equipment and Joint Fires support provided to the Multi Domain Battlespace. Topics to be covered include:
• Air Land Integration
