MEMAD was established to facilitate informed discussion between decision-makers from around the Middle East as they assemble some of the most effective missile and air defense systems anywhere in the word.

MEMAD is a two-day event which features around fifteen presentations, five panel discussions, and four closed workshops around focused core themes associated with developing and operating multi-layered missile defenses.

MEMAD is a meeting point for government and military officials alongside the private sector. Defense industry participation from leading solution providers in air and missile defenses can take three forms: Sponsorship, Exhibition, or Attendance. In 2010, MEMAD will feature a highly focused small-scale exposition – for further details on Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities can be found by clicking on the tabs located at the top left.

MEMAD is uniquely adapted to the Middle East-specific threat environment in consultation with key informed officials and security experts, with a special focus on GCC missile defense concerns. The program for MEMAD 2010 will carry core themes such as:
