Description

Bringing together the most influential stakeholders from across the global rotary wing community, the 24th annual International Military Helicopter (IMH) conference is coming to the Novotel London West, London, UK. With over 450 specialists and discussion makers from the military, industry, R&D, and academia, IMH 2025 will delve into future procurement activities and investments that are delivering next-generation capabilities to support tomorrow’s mission.

With the threat of peer-on-peer competition escalating, NATO and partner nations need to consider how to operate rotary aviation in highly contested and congested airspace. The need to develop advanced rotorcraft to carry out the specific mission sets required in a modern multi-domain battlespace, while retaining survivability and effectiveness, has become more important than ever before. As seen in the early days of the UKR/RUS conflict, traditional doctrine and tactics are being challenged, and new rotorcraft vulnerabilities are being exposed, requiring commanders to find new ways to operate when air superiority has not been achieved. Subsequently, Armed Forces around the world are looking to expand the capability of their current and future rotorcraft, seeking greater speed, endurance, agility and survivability to meet today’s and tomorrow’s threats.

This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant.

The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift.
