Undersea defence technology opportunities at MAST Europe 2013
Thu 21 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
The tenth MAST Europe event (conference, exhibition, product briefings, ship visits, demos, social functions, etc.) will again give you the complete perspective of future security/defence capabilities from Undersea, Surface, and Air & Space domains.
In addition, the perfect timing of Poland to host MAST (and its first fully international maritime security/defence event) will enable those of you from manufacturers/suppliers of/to Submarines, Minehunters, and Patrol vessels (with MCM modules) to present solutions to the Polish Navy (and relevant procurement authorities).
Updates posted on the MAST website complement the previously announced major new helicopters programmes and frigate overhauls, and of course, those represented by MAST’s participants from over forty other countries.
With senior-level technologists, operators and procurement executives all due to attend MAST in Gdansk, there is no better event this year, to unite commercial organisations with navy and coast-guard decision makers, discuss capabilities requirements, and propose technology solutions.

Tenth MAST Conference & Exhibition Agenda live, now!
Thu 21 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
As you will read, MAST’s organisers have again created an event unmatchable by any other, for its senior-level, comprehensive insights and analysis into future maritime security and defence capabilities from undersea, surface & air, and space perspectives.
For the first time in its history, the MAST Exhibition is full (although ‘reserve’ space may be available for late exhibitor bookings, contact Pearl Donvin), and will again host its successful Product Briefings, Mini iPad prize draws, exhibitor hospitality, and of course MAST’s renowned FREE OF CHARGE Annual Party.
Unlike some conferences, delegate fees for MAST Europe 2013 have been frozen at pre-2010 rates. Furthermore, earlybird rates (available to the first 300 delegates, likely to run out early/mid April) offer unbeatable value for MAST’s comprehensive delegate package.
However you choose to take part in MAST Europe (4th to 6th June, Gdansk, Poland), we look forward to helping achieve your objectives.
Black Hawk to feature at MAST in Gdansk
Fri 15 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
First time exhibitor Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation have confirmed both a major presence in this June’s MAST exhibition, and most excitingly will make available one of the the most iconic 21st Century aircraft for visits during the event.
In its Navy incarnation, the Black Hawk is a perfect platform to conduct anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), naval special warfare (NSW) insertion, search and rescue (SAR), combat search and rescue (CSAR), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC).
Not only does this exciting visitor feature give you a chance to get up close and personal with this dynamic platform, but also MAST exhibitors with systems on board can enhance their customer interface, and better explain the technology on display on their exhibition booth.
The Polish Navy is currently looking to purchase nine helicopters (of a total procurement programme of nearly one hundred!) and considering proposals from several manufacturers (and by association systems manufacturers).
MAST keeps its delegate fees low
Fri 15 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
Recognising the pressure upon many organisations’ conference attendance budgets, MAST will (again) keep its delegate rates at pre-2010 levels.
With this year’s conference (and exhibition) agenda as diverse and authoritative as you would expect of MAST, and some organisers even increasing their fees despite an era of austerity for many, MAST delegate fee savings guarantee you the best value of any event this year.
NB: This year’s exhibition (the biggest MAST to date) is, of course, free-of-charge to all.
Turkish Delight!
Fri 15 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
The MAST offices have been flooded with enquiries to confirm details of a news story in the last eNews.
From now onwards, any representative(s) from organisations in the following year’s MAST host country, will be registered FREE-OF-CHARGE as a delegate(s) to the current year’s MAST conference. So places at the MAST in Gdansk (4–6 June 2013) will be FREE-OF-CHARGE to representatives from Turkish organisations (as MAST is due to be held in Istanbul, Turkey between 3–5 June 2014).
This market-leading decision bears testament to MAST’s community-focused commitment (thus its Communities of Practice programme), which delivers maximum return to its supporters (whether they be sponsors, exhibitors, delegates, TCC, VIPs, or visitors).
MAST exhibition to sell out!
Tue 12 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
A recent boom in organisations signing up to exhibit in MAST Europe 2013 has left just eleven stands vacant.
As the current plan for the tenth edition of the renowned global maritime security & defence exhibition shows – available from [email protected] – companies sitting on the fence to sign up might just miss the opportunity to present their air & space, surface, and undersea defence technology, system and/or platform to over a thousand senior-level technologists, operators, and procurement executives from forty-plus countries’ navies, coast guards, and government agencies.
MAST’s organisers may now need to use space inside the hall previously reserved for a helicopter, navy/coast guard units, and other static displays (these will now be hosted in the live-demonstration area adjacent the hall) to accommodate last minute exhibitor bookings.
If you don’t want to miss making valuable contacts, don’t miss MAST.

Tue 12 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
Ahead of next year’s MAST EurAsia in Turkey, we are delighted to announce the extension of the highly global TCC to include Milsoft Product Manager, Mr. Hüseyin Kutluca.
Mr Kutluca’s experience, influence and networks will be invaluable in putting both the technical conference and commercial exhibition together next year in Istanbul, Turkey.
Tenth MAST timetable delivers total integration
Thu 7 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
Yet another successful Call for Papers (and paper selection meeting this week) has resulted in completion of the Technical Conference Committee’s tenth MAST Europe preliminary Agenda.
Successful conference authors will be advised of final presentation times next week (once several “stragglers’” are added into the mix!), but already the programme is set to deliver the complete view of future maritime security and defence capabilities (across Undersea, Surface, and Air & Space parallels).
Once again FREE (for everyone) features determined by MAST’s Exhibition Steering Group include: Product Briefings, Hospitality functions, iPad Mini prize draws, not to mention the spectacular MAST party: all designed at uniting the total audience, regardless of registration status.
Whether your expertise is undersea defence technology, systems or platforms, or related to surface, air & space, MAST Europe 2013 will give you a total perspective, that no other conference/exhibition can.
Turkish “free-for all” in Poland
Thu 7 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
In hot anticipation of next year’s first ever MAST EurAsia 2014 conference and exhibition (in an equally hot Turkey, 3–5 June 2014), to foster early interaction and collaborations towards a so far under-represented group in MAST, any member of service, government agency, commercial, and/or academic organisation based in Turkey will be given FREE DELEGATE REGISTRATION at MAST Europe 2013 (4–6 June, Gdansk, Poland).
This unparalleled move by MAST’s organisers is testament to it community-based commitment, and dedication to uniting the world of global maritime security and defence technologists and operators at every MAST.
It is intended to extend the same generous offer, each year to attendees from the incoming host country.
- To register participation in this programme now, email your Title, Name, Job Title, Department, and Organisation directly to MAST’s CEO, Warren Edge at [email protected].

VIP treatment for all MAST Europe 2013 delegates
Thu 7 Mar 2013 @ 11:00
MAST’s organisers never take delegates’ support for granted, and appreciating their loyalty over ten events, go to every length to give maximum ROI for their delegate fees.
This year’s package takes value-for money to new heights. Included in the 2013 delegate package is a daily Gourmet three-course hot meal, prepared by a top Polish kitchen.
Furthermore, average delegate fees have once again been fixed at 2010 rates, and early-bird discounts are available to the first 300 delegates.
