About the Conference / Excursions
The International Personal Armour Committee (IPAC) is pleased to announce that PASS 2012 is
hosted for the first time in Germany, at the Pyramide-Hotel in Nuremberg. PASS 2012 will offer an outstanding opportunity for the exchange of views and experiences in the field of personal armour systems
in an operational environment.

About PASS 2012
PASS is the only scientific symposium exclusively dedicated to the personal protection that brings
together technical experts and scientists in that field. It provides a unique opportunity:
- To interact with key players in this field of activities
- To discuss the scientific and technological challenges
- To discover the latest technical and commercial innovations
The PASS Conference takes place in the Hotel
„Pyramide“ in Nuremberg-Fuerth, Germany
PASS 2012 will be the 11th in a series of symposia, which began at SCRDE in Colchester, UK.
PASS Symposia have been traditionally hosted by European countries every 2 years since 1990. The
massive participation from North America has encouraged alternating the venue between the two
regions. The last Symposium in 2010 took place in Quebec, Canada. The PASS Conferences attract
more than 200 attendees from over 20 countries around the world.
Experts will share the results of the latest research and discussions will allow inputs from participants.
Attendees will include representatives from defence and academic research organizations, industry,
military and police forces. Symposium subjects include personal protection, military and police body
armour, helmets, EOD protection and associated medical implications.
On Wednesday participants may visit the
Fortress of Nuremberg and have a guided tour

16:30 Visit of the Exhibition
The traditional Banquet Dinner will be held in
the Castle Faber Castell
During the conference you will have the time for a guided tour through the historic city and have a light
dinner at a typical local restaurant. The traditional banquet dinner takes place in the castle of
Faber Castell, a beautiful and exclusive location in Nuremberg. During the free evenings you will have
the chance to visit Nuremberg on your own.
When PASS 2012 has finished, the world famous Oktoberfest just starts on Saturday in Munich
(177 km away - ca. 40 minutes via InterCityExpress Train to Munich), which is worth visiting. Another
option would be a trip to the residence of the “Fairy Tale King”, Ludwig II of Bavaria, the unique castle of
Neuschwanstein, which was copied as “Disney´s Castle”.
13:30 Opening
Warren Tam, IPAC Secretary
14:30 Experiences with Personal Armour Systems
from the Medical Perspective - Actual Reports
from Afghanistan
In conjunction with the symposium, there will be an industry area to allow the discussion, illustration and
promotion of ideas and equipment from our sponsors and exhibitors. Further information on these
opportunities are available on PASS 2012’s website (www.pass-2012.com).
Nuremberg is a city in the German state of Bavaria, in the administrative region of Middle Franconia.
Situated on the Pegnitz river and the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, it is located about 170 kilometres north
of Munich and is Franconia's largest city. The population is about 505,000. The European Metropolitan
Area of Nuremberg has 3.5 million inhabitants. Nuremberg was an early centre of humanism, science,
printing, and mechanical invention. The academy of fine arts situated in Nuremberg is the oldest
art academy in central Europe and looks back to a tradition of 350 years of artistic education.
