Leading Kooy symposium highlights key defence and security topics annually
The Kooy symposium is organised every year in April by KIVI Defence and Security in collaboration with the Association of Higher Technically Trained Officers of the Royal Army Arte Pugnantibus Adsum (APA), Royal Association of Naval Officers (KVMO), Mars & Mercury, TNO and NLR.
Each edition will have a unique theme and title, addressing new or underexposed topics.
Sponsorship and exhibition
Although we organise the Kooy symposium on a non-profit basis with volunteers, we do incur costs for catering, among other things. We therefore invite companies to sponsor the symposium with a limited amount on an incidental or structural basis.
With sponsorship, you reach over 300 participants: politicians, defence chiefs, officers and engineers of the armed forces, industry and knowledge institutions.
Sponsorship can be done in two ways:
- One-off with a small stand at the Kooy Symposium for € 750 excluding VAT.
- Structural with name entry in the programme for € 650 per year excluding VAT.
Please confirm via stand.kooysymposium.nl if you would like to place a stand or sponsor the symposium.
