Joint PR in the Multi-Domain Era: Synchronizing Capabilities, Education, and Innovation
We cordially invite distinguished delegates, military commanders, and domain experts to attend the Personnel Recovery (PR) Conference 2027, taking place in late April 2027. Hosted to advance the global Personnel Recovery enterprise, this event offers a premier forum to explore the theme of ‘Joint PR in the Multi-Domain Era: Synchronizing Capabilities, Education, and Innovation’.
Strategic competition and modern warfare are rapidly expanding across Land, Maritime, Air, Cyber, and Space domains. To maintain operational credibility, the global PR enterprise must address critical capability gaps—specifically in Joint PR Education and Training (E&T) architectures and institutional frameworks. The 2027 Conference invites an expanded vision of Personnel Recovery, challenging NATO and partner nations to bridge technological, operational, and organizational frontiers.

In line with this theme, this year’s discussions will address a broad range of strategic priorities shaping the future of rescue operations. Participants will explore real-world operational Lessons Learned from recent combat theatres, including Ukraine and the Iranian theatre; component perspectives across air, land, maritime, and multi-domain environments and the integration of cutting-edge technologies. Furthermore, the conference will drive advocacy for key joint exercises like Vanguard Rescue and Red Flag Rescue to ensure force readiness.
The 2027 PR Conference provides a vital platform to facilitate active engagement among senior NATO leaders, global partner nations and defence industry stakeholders. Attendees will participate in a comprehensive two-day plenary programme featuring expert briefings, interactive panel debates, and technological presentations.
We look forward to welcoming you to shape the roadmap for the future of Personnel Recovery!
