Europe's Leading Military Engineering and Logistics Conference

Combat Engineer & Logistics 2027 returns as Europe’s leading forum for military engineers and logistics collaboration. Taking place from 2nd – 4th March 2027 in Krakow, Poland, a location of critical geographic and strategic importance within NATO’s defence structure.

In light of recent developments, including ongoing global tensions and regional conflicts, the conference will examine pressing issues in logistics and engineering that have become crucial in modern warfare. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, for instance, has underscored the importance of large-scale logistics efforts, as well as the need for multinational cooperation to ensure sustainable operations in times of crisis and war. Key challenges such as mobility, gap crossing, and anti-access area denial capabilities will also be explored, reflecting the dynamic nature of modern defence needs.

CEL27 will provide nations and organisations with the tools and knowledge to enhance both short-term preparedness and long-term force design, influencing procurement strategies and defence policies for years to come.
