Welcome To The Home Of The International LAV Community!

IDGA's Light Armored Vehicles & Stryker Summit has quickly become the "must attend" event for the international LAV community. Hundreds of attendees from military, industry, and others convene each year to discuss areas such as armor, communications, firepower, drive trains, battery power, and other important components to the family of LAV vehicles. The summit also provides a forum for military and industry to network and forge new partnerships and solutions.

LAVs and Strykers are at the backbone of military operations around the world. Seeing the swift procurement of these vehicles, and the consistent advancement of military capabilities and technologies, it is essential to remember that a well-developed program is critical to future success. Current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have not only been a joint and combined effort, but also a partnership between military and industry teammates – people like you. It is therefore IDGA’s goal to bring together thought leaders in military and industry to share best practices, enable new relationships, and most importantly, aid the Warfighter as he completes his mission and returns home safely.
