"The ADM congress provides valuable insights into the direction Defence is steering. It also brings together industry partners in a forum to hear what is working well and what can be incorporated into our current roles to better serve Defence."

"The line up of speakers was second to none! The professional learning, particularly post DSR, was invaluable."
