Event Details

The 2014 HUNTER DEFENCE CONFERENCE is supported by NSW Trade & Investment, HunterNet and the Hunter Business Chamber and follows the success of the past two years.

The conference will be an excellent opportunity for Defence industry, and in particular SMEs to hear about the New Air Combat Capability (NACC) aircraft (F-35) as it will impact the Hunter Region. In addition, attendees will be provided with updates on current and future Land and Maritime Projects, other regional activities, Defence opportunities, innovation and business improvement workshops.

As in previous years the event will involve carefully selected input from public sector, private sector, government, universities and professional organisations to provide attendees current information to help you break in and/or sustain your business in the Defence sector. The particular focus this year will be what local businesses can do to prepare for the F35 and the likely major impact the new capability will have for our region. The event offers a fantastic opportunity to network amongst the key influencers in our region.
