Defence and Industry Online Conference 2020

Despite a challenging year to date, the D+I Conference 2020 is going ahead in an online form due to COVID-19 travel and gathering restrictions. All sessions will be streamed nationwide on 15 October 2020 including on the Defence Protected Network (DPN).

In line with previous events, we’ve kept the winning formula for the Conference connecting delegates with Senior Defence decision makers via live questioning during our Q&A sessions. The program has been designed to incorporate Ministerial updates, Senior Defence and Service Chief presentations along with thought provoking topics as we navigate through the challenges of 2020 and beyond.
