ADNEC, National Shield Sign Media Partnership

The Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) have signed a media partnership with the defense publication, Nation Shield. The magazine claims to issue the daily newsletter for the International Defence Exhibition (IDEX 2021), the Naval Defence February Exhibition (NAVDEX 2021) and the International Defence Conference. The two exhibitions will be held from 21-25, 2021 at the ADNEC and the International Defence Conference will be held on February 20, 2021 at the ADNOC Business Center.

“At ADNEC, our success is based from the strength of the partnerships which we form with a range of distinguished institutions. We look to hold major events at our centers in a manner which befits both the reputation and position of the emirate of Abu Dhabi at the regional and international level. IDEX and NAVDEX are the only two events of their kind in the MENA region. Governments, companies and military forces are offered a unique opportunity to strengthen future relations during the conference. IDEX and NAVDEX have become one of the most important exhibitions for the international defense community. The exhibitions showcase modern military technology which strengthens the UAE’s security infrastructure, placing it as one of the most important industrialized nations and one of the most advanced militaries globally,” said Saeed Bin Khadim Al Mansoori, Executive Director of IDEX and NAVDEX exhibitions.

IDEX and NAVDEX and the International Defence Conference are organized by the ADNEC in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence and the General Command of the UAE Armed Forces. Both events showcase the latest developments across the military sector, demonstrate the latest in peacekeeping and defense technologies, and forge new relationships between national, corporate and academic entities attending the four day event.

Yousef Juma Al Haddad, Editor in Chief of Nation Shield Magazine stated, “Our continued media partnership with the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company is a source of pride for Nation Shield. In 2021, we will cooperate once again to build on the successes of the previous editions of IDEX and NAVDEX. As ever, we look to create an exceptional media experience for exhibitors, participants, and visitors. Exhibitors and participants will be provided with media and advertising space in our regular newsletters. We will also prepare and publish specialized media articles and hold exclusive interviews with officials from leading national and international participants, experts, and decision makers. We aims to produce creative and informative content that adds value to all readers. We look to preserve Nation Shield’s reputation which our publication has achieved since its foundation in 1971. Since that time, we have carefully covered the UAE Armed Forces, and monitored the wider developments of the nation.”
