Defence Estates & Infrastructure Conference 2024

The Only Conference Dedicated To Improving Infrastructure As A Central Componant To Military Capability

December 11-12, 2024 - London, United Kingdom

Optimising the future of the Defence Estate

Today's unstable geopolitical landscape demands a flexible and responsive military fleet. The Defence Estate is the core of this military capability. The estate must evolve and modernise, bolstering resilience against today’s increased uncertainty and evolving threats.

Through extensive collaboration, we can curate a Defence Estate which provides a sustainable and affordable set of land, buildings and accommodation that supports defence capability, both in terms of military operations and the lived experience of its personnel.

The Defence Estates and Infrastructure conference serves as an excellent platform for the exchange of knowledge, collaboration, and the exploration of groundbreaking developments in this field. This two-day event will bring together leading innovators and industry professionals, to discuss strategic and operational policy level challenges. During the conference, participants will engage in insightful keynote presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions and engaging networking opportunities.
