CEL 2026 Speakers

Each year, the Combat Engineer and Logistics event brings together a world-class lineup of speakers from across the global defence engineering and sustainment community. The 2025 edition featured senior military engineers, logistics leaders, technical specialists, and strategic thinkers from armed forces, industry, government, and academia — all offering insights that are shaping the future of operational support and battlefield infrastructure.

From operational commanders and procurement officials to pioneers in mobility, survivability, expeditionary logistics, and infrastructure development, our speakers deliver critical perspectives across the full spectrum of engineering and sustainment missions.
