Hunter Defence Conference 2017

SME Collaboration to Deliver Defence Capability

The 2017 Defence Conference will focus on driving collaboration and engagement between Defence Primes, the region’s SME’s, academia and Defence.

This will support the increased levels of cooperation directed in the Defence Industry Policy Statement. The conference will include an engaging line-up of quality presenters delivering topical presentations, along with many opportunities to network.

A highlight of the conference will be the gala dinner on Tuesday 22nd August. The dinner will feature a prominent Australian keynote speaker and will serve as one of the key networking events of the conference.

HunterNet this year 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.

Our 2017 Conference Sponsors are:

NSW Department of Industry
NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet
Veolia
