The biennial event with 'Arms for Peace' as its motto will be held from November 27 to 30 and also have a golf tournament as part of the new format, Media director of Defence Export Promotion Organisation (DEPO) Commodore Tariq Javed told reporters.
The event will also have a seminar with experts along with a services conference on November 28 divided into three sessions.
"The Pakistan Army will be in charge of the morning session, the Navy will cover the afternoon followed by the Pakistan Air Force the next day. It will provide a good chance to listen to and meet policy- and decision-makers. All the three armed forces chiefs will attend the conference," Javed said.
