As we enter 2025, Halldale Group is proud to reflect on a year filled with innovation, collaboration, and progress in defense training and simulation. With global tensions at an all-time high, supporting the critical training and simulation industry and its warfighter clients has been more important than ever.
Expanding Defense Training Insights
Over the past year, our editorial team has explored pivotal developments shaping the defense sector:
- Technological Advancements: From artificial intelligence to immersive technologies, we’ve highlighted transformative innovations like HTX Labs' EMPACT III platform, a cutting-edge solution supporting the Department of Defense’s training modernization.
- Global Defense Exercises: Our extensive coverage of I/ITSEC 2024 showcased emerging trends, with a strong focus on the global implications of the war in Ukraine.
- Leadership Perspectives: Interviews with key figures like Captain Tim James, Commanding Officer of NAWCTSD, provided valuable insights into the challenges and future opportunities within defense training.

Strengthening Industry Connections
In 2024, we expanded our global reach, adding over 6,000 new contacts and revalidating another 1,700, bringing our database of active connections to nearly 7,300. This ongoing effort will continue into 2025, with a particular focus on Europe as the region advances its defense capabilities.
Event Highlights
2024 was a standout year for events, with Halldale playing a pivotal role as a media partner for leading defense-focused conferences, including:
- Military Flight Training (MFT)
- Military Virtual Training and Simulation Summit
- AIXR and Augmented World Expo (AWE)
Additionally, we supported and provided extensive coverage at:
- Defence Simulation, Education, and Training (DSET) in Bristol, UK
- International Training Technology Exhibition & Conference (IT2EC) in London, UK

At each event, MS&T delivered daily updates, contributed to conference programming, and engaged with suppliers and end-users, reinforcing our commitment to the defense training community.

As we step into a new year, Halldale is committed to building on these achievements. We’ll expand our focus in Europe, foster partnerships through more focused meetings, and continue to deliver the high-quality content and engagement you’ve come to expect.
We look forward to collaborating with you in 2025 and making it another year of innovation, growth, and success for the defense training community.
Thank you for your continued support. Let’s achieve great things together in the year ahead!
