A brand new format 

This year, instead of holding one single convention, we decided to offer you a new format of our privileged event “Sophie Users Club” : The SOPHIE TOUR.

The Sophie Tour will now be a series of customised, more hands-on events in several parts of the world to address your specific priorities & needing according to  your regions. Thales comes to you !

We look forward to seeing you again after such a special year marked by the pandemic and the absence of events. We will not fail to make up for lost time by sharing our new solutions & future projects with you.

For each destination, the same objective: to bring together our customers and users from the same region to present our latest innovations around the common theme of the Perception, to listen & understand their future expectations and operational needs & propose them high-end live demonstrations & brand new solutions… around the future soldier ecosystem !

The main novelties :

  • Even more demonstrations  with a “users centric approach
  • More than dismounted soldier’s topics :  guests will discover the entire Thales’ perception ecosystem for the modern battlefield (air, vehicle…)

Focus on specific needs & expectations according to the destination

OUR IDENTITY IS CHANGING TOO !

Because innovation and evolution are our watchwords at Thales, we have also chosen to evolve our visual identity. A new name and a new logo will now be revealed to support our communications around the event.

We hope you’ll like it as much as we do!
