Atlantic Canada Delegation to I/ITSEC 2011,

Orlando, Florida

November 28, 2011 – December 1, 2011
The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) invites your participation in the Atlantic Canada delegation to the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC 2011) which will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA from November 28, 2011 to December 1, 2011.
Now in its 14th year, I/ITSEC is a highly successful, established international exhibition and will be the anchor event for ACOA’s participation. Held on an annual basis, I/ITSEC promotes cooperation among the Armed Services, Industry, Academia and various Government agencies in pursuit of improved training and education programs, identification of common training issues and development of multiservice programs. In 2010, I/ITSEC confirmed its position as the world’s largest training, simulation and modeling conference with 595 exhibiting companies from 57 countries.
I/ITSEC 2011 will provide a unique prospective for Atlantic companies and allow the opportunity for firms to interact more closely with targeted prime contractors in the training and simulation field. In addition, this conference offers an unparalleled opportunity to make new contacts with other international exhibitors in the aerospace and defence sector. The theme of I/ITSEC 2011 is “Prepare the Force…Secure the Future”.
