‘PAvCon Europe - The Networking Continues’

The Evolution of PAvCon Europe

Topics Covered:The conference began to cover a broader range of topics, including technological advancements in aviation, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), new surveillance technologies, and innovations in aircraft equipment
Exhibitions and Demonstrations:
Alongside seminars and workshops, the conference started featuring exhibitions and live demonstrations. These allowed manufacturers and service providers to showcase the latest technologies and products relevant to police aviation.
Focus on Training and Education:
The event has continued to emphasize the importance of training and professional development, offering specialized sessions for both new and experienced personnel in police aviation.
Collaborations and Partnerships
: : : PAvCon Europe developed collaborations with various organizations, including police departments, aviation authorities, and industry leaders. These partnerships helped to enhance the quality and relevance of the conference content.

Sad News - The PAvCon Family were saddened to hear that long time attendee and past PAvCon Chairman, John Osmond passed away on Friday, 2nd May after a long illness. Our thoughts go out to Rosemary, John’s wife, and family. He will be sadly missed! The funeral is on Thursday, 12 June at 1:30 in Chipping Norton. For more information email here.
Once again the PAvCon Team have pulled off another fantastic event, dubbed by many as the ‘best ever’. Thank you to all the sponsors. Without you this event would not be as big as it is today! Thank you also to all those that turned up and supported the event, you are all welcome again next year Attendance numbers for both training day and conference and exhibition have seen a big increase. The most impressive being a doubling in the training day numbers on previous events! Feedback from vendors was very positive saying that the high number of end users is just what they wanted. The end users were impressed with the quality and quantity of the exhibitors on view. With the conference being in the same hangar as the exhibition, moving between conference and exhibition was easy. There was a very good and varied selection of topics covered in the conference arena. These were well attended with knowledge being shared with different forces across the European zone. The conference and exhibition was held in a very spacious and clean hangar with a fantastic backdrop of the local area. The training day was held in the Hotel Grand Prix, Le Castallet, again in very comfortable surroundings and throughout the event the weather was exceptional! A special thank you to Airbus who sponsored the Tuesday night evening meal. This year there was a barbeque with very good numbers attending. Many said it was the best sponsored meal they had attended with free flowing drinks, plenty of food and best of all, great company with networking going on late into the night.
PAvCon 2025, held on May 27–28 at Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France, was a significant event in the field of police aviation. It brought together professionals from across Europe and beyond, focusing on training, innovation, and collaboration.
The conference emphasized specialized training sessions for both new and experienced personnel in police aviation, underscoring the importance of continuous professional development. Attendees experienced exhibitions and live demonstrations where manufacturers and service providers showcased the latest technologies and products relevant to police aviation. PAvCon Europe fostered collaborations with various organizations, including police departments, aviation authorities, and industry leaders, enhancing the quality and relevance of the conference content. The event facilitated networking among attendees, with sponsored evening meals and drinks receptions designed to promote informal interactions and strengthen professional relationships within the aviation community. Overall, PAvCon 2025 maintained its reputation as a vital platform for knowledge exchange, professional development, and collaboration in the field of police aviation
