The SDSC-UK 2024 Conference focuses on the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), directed by the new Government.

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.
