Hunter Defence | 2023 Hunter Defence Conference
August 23 @ 7:30 am - August 24 @ 10:00 pm
$1190 – $1290The Hunter Defence Conference is Australia’s premier regional Defence event, attracting over 220 delegates and keynote speakers from the defence sector nationally.
The format for this year’s event has been refined and enhanced based on attendee feedback, and will feature a two-day conference, SME exhibition, cocktail evening, and gala dinner. The agenda will centre around the impact on the Hunter Region of two of the most important Defence initiatives in recent history: the Defence Strategic Review and AUKUS. The Conference will provide a key opportunity to hear the latest updates on both initiatives from key government, industry, and Defence personnel, as well as take part in critical discussions about what they mean for the region and what Defence in the Hunter will look like in the future.
