Note: This event has now been postponed until 23rd - 25th June 2020.
With many major cities across Europe falling victim to critical incidents in recent years, the threat of terrorism remains a high priority.
With this in mind, the upcoming 7th annual CBRNe Summit Europe Conference and Exhibition, which returns to Brno in the Czech Republic from 23rd - 25th June 2020, promises an invaluable opportunity to explore European CBRNe preparedness and capability.
This year's summit will explore a broad variety of topics currently impacting the CBRNe environment including military-civilian response to urban CBRNe incidents, first responder techniques, chemical-biological hazards, decontamination, asymmetrical threats, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and CBRNe forensics.

CBRNe Summit Europe live demo and exercise
The Šumavská Barracks at the Brno University of Defence will play host to a live demonstration and exercise, led jointly by a Sampling and Identification of Biological, Chemical and Radiological Agents (SIBCRA) team and the 31st CBRN Defence Regiment.
The exercise will focus on the investigation of an illegal laboratory where CBRN agents are suspected to be present, with a crucial outcome of the mission being to ensure that the integrity of samples is maintained from initial collection through to final analysis.
Following a welcome address from the University of Defence, observers will be able to observe the collection of samples, the surveying of a building and a demonstration of the preparation, packaging and transporting of evidence for further investigation.
CBRNe Summit Europe Exhibition
The summit's vibrant exhibition will provide the opportunity for delegates to view the latest array of technology used in the support of contamination avoidance, monitoring and control, reconnaissance, search and survey training.
Argon Electronics' extensive portfolio of simulator training systems will be on show, including its new offering, the MultiGAS-SIM, simulators for the Smiths LCD3.2e and LCD3.3, the Proengin AP4C, the Mirion/Canberra RDS100, PDR77 and RDS200 and the Thermo FH40G and EPD Mk2.
