Speakers have been revealed ahead of SDSC-UK 2024 Exhibition & Conference – and there is still time to register to attend the event on 19th and 20th November. 

The compere for the SDSC-UK 2024 Conference on Wednesday 20th November will be Major General (Retired) Robin Anderton-Brown. Formerly Director of Capability, UK MoD Strategic Command, Maj Gen (R’td) Robin Anderton-Brown has supported the event since its inception in 2017.

  • Jez Holmes OBE, Managing Director, Raven Innovation Ltd – Technology, Futures and Strategy Consultancy

The SDSC-UK 2024 Conference focuses on the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), directed by the new Government. The SDR will determine the roles, capability and reforms required by UK Defence to meet the challenges, threats and opportunities of the twenty-first century, deliverable and affordable within the resources available to defence.

Reserve your ticket today – register here. Registration closes 15th November, 2024. 

SDSC-UK 2024 will explore three areas which are pivotal to this reform; how to acquire, scale and adapt digital capabilities at pace; how UK defence can ensure it is interoperable with its allies including multi-national approaches to meeting capability requirements; and drawing from the conclusions of the Haythornthwaite Review of Armed Forces Incentivisation, how defence can recruit and retain the skilled personnel it needs to meet the increased specialisms required to operate and exploit digital capabilities.

Through panel and dedicated sessions, industry and defence experts will explore these topics and engage with the audience to deepen understanding of the challenge to help identify those areas that will be most impactful for change.  

Join SDSC to gain insights from military leadership including UK MoD and US DoD, Government Agencies and industry leaders. Discover how leading experts have found innovative solutions to complex problem sets; hear success stories from leading organisations; exchange information and express your views in addressing technical, operational and capability issues and activities in the global Defence community.
