The 2018 Hunter Defence Conference

Venue: Crowne Plaza, Hunter Valley
Location: NSW, Australia
30 Aug - 31 Aug, 2018
Web: https://www.trybooking.com/357402

The 2018 Defence Conference will focus on driving collaboration and engagement between Defence Primes, the region’s SME’s, academia and Defence.

A highlight of the conference will be the spectacular low ying aerial show from Matt Hall Racing during our networking drinks on Thursday 30th August followed by our gala dinner where Matt will be our keynote speaker. This makes this evening one of the key networking events of the conference.

Once again, HunterNet will donate to HDSN & Westpac Rescue Helicopter, from the proceeds of the conference. These organisations do great work in supporting our Region and the serving members and veterans of the Australian Defence Force. We encourage all HunterNet Members and conference attendees to also give their support.
