IDLS2024 will be taking place at the Estoril Congress Center (Centro de Congressos do Estoril) in Cascais, Portugal.
The International Data Links Symposium has been held annually since 2001. It originated as a Tactical Data Link User’s group sponsored by the US Navy and US Air Force Link 16 program offices in cooperation with the UK Ministry of Defence. As Link 16 proliferated, the symposium rapidly grew beyond the scope of a program office sponsored conference and in 2004 the International Data Link Society (IDLSoc) was chartered as a non-profit organization to provide a forum for the Tactical Data Link (TDL) community and to facilitate the annual event.
The annual symposium is held in various locations throughout the world to facilitate participation by the international community. The society’s charter is:
IDLS2024 welcomes government and industry professionals from the data link community, fostering collaboration and innovation in the dynamic field of data link solutions. The event is tailored to benefit a diverse audience:
