Homeland Security and Law Enforcement Vehicle Market

New York, NY, April 18, 2013 - IDGA has just announced the date of its flagship Military Vehicles Exhibition & Conference. Now in its fifth year, MVEC is the largest stand-alone vehicle event in the United States. Last year’s event brought together over 200 exhibitors, 2,000+ international/domestic attendees and 28 participating countries.

This year will bring a new expanded perspective that will include armored vehicles for national security and law enforcement. As the vehicle community faces a series of challenges previously unfelt, individuals have stepped up to continue vital communications, collaborations and research developments. Sustaining these conversations will undoubtedly return value in the future years since progress marches on tirelessly.

The conference and exhibition will take place on July 31 – August 1, 2013 at the Cobo Convention Center, Detroit, MI. The event will bring together 30+ high profile speakers including Lieutenant Colonel Lior Kotick, Project Manager, ISRAEL MOD, Paul Villaire, Chief, Foreign Intelligence Technology Section, HQDA, DCS G-2 and Eileen Wenger Tutt, Executive Director, California Electric Transportation Coalition.

Access to the Presentation Theater and Exhibit Hall is complimentary and attendees will have the option to attend 12 seminars free-of-charge, as well the opportunity to experience dozens of product showcases on the expo floor. Free expo passes are now available at www.MilitaryVehiclesExpo.com.
