SUMMARY:Defence Information 24
DESCRIPTION:Team Defence ‘Strengthening the New Alliance’ \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Defence Information 24 is a hybrid conference\, with attendance in person and online.  \nAre increasing tensions around the world making us rethink our geopolitical security position? Recent speculation in the media suggest that there may be a new strategic defence review on the horizon; now is the time for MOD and Industry to join forces in a New Alliance. \nThe Theme and Programme for Defence Information ’24 has been inspired by the Defence Command Paper issued by the MOD as Defence’s response to a more contested and volatile world. Published in July 2023 the paper looks to secure and maintain our Strategic Advantage including through Our People\, Transformation through Science and Technology and the Relationship with Industry.  \nThe Secretary of State concludes that our Strategic Advantage “is derived from our investment in cutting edge future technologies\, including digital and data\, and emerging scientific and technological advances. It is derived from our relationship with industry\, which we must continue to strengthen into a new alliance\, as a genuine partnership to sustain our defence.” \nThis year’s theme\, ‘Strengthening the New Alliance\,’ will be explored through formal presentations\, engaging panel sessions\, and valuable networking opportunities. Attendees will also have the chance to visit the exhibition throughout the event and participate in the Day 2 PM Workshop (limited numbers). \nTHE PROGRAMME \nAll panels are followed by a chaired discussion\, taking questions from virtual delegates and from the floor. \nDAY ONE \nPanel One – MOD Strategy/Policy – Chairing: John Batterbee\, AtkinsRéalis \n\nCharlie Forte\, CIO MOD provides the Keynote Address on the increasing imperative to leverage digital and data in increasingly contest and hostile world\nGabrielle Gower\, Director Defence Design covering Defence Design will talk on the MOD’s progress towards a new operating mode\, Defence Design – What is it and what does it mean for industry?\nMivy James\, Defence Digital Chief Technology Officer\, MOD will talk on how she sees the CTO role evolving over the next few years\nBrig Mike Morton discusses Digital Strategy for Defence; Backbone 2.0 and other Emerging Themes\n\nPanel Two – Relationship with Industry – Enabling the New Alliance – Chairing: David Thompson\, Appian \n\nVictoria Cope\, Defence Digital Commercial Director\, MOD – Defence Digital Commercial Strategy and building a new relationship with Industry\nRobert Stoneman\, Senior Director Analyst\, Gartner will be speaking on Digital Technology Trends\nChristine Maxwell\, Defence Digital Director\, Cyber Defence & Risk – talks A Year On – Secure by Design and Collaboration Environments\nGareth Hetheridge\, Leonardo & Ali Nicholl\, Iotics cover Benefits of Partnerships: adopting commercial off-the-shelf technology developed outside of Defence\nFiona Miles\, MOD Submarine Delivery Agency and Andy Tully from Babcock International\, discuss Defence Nuclear Data Centre enablement of MOD/Industry collaboration in the UK & Internationally\nChris Parker\, Director Government Strategy\, Fortinet – A New Partnership – Turning Strategy into Action – opening the panel discussion\n\nPanel Three – Artificial Intelligence for Defence – Chairing: Peter Wright\, Thales \n\nCdre Rachel Singleton\, Defence Digital Artificial Intelligence Centre Head\, MOD talks about how the MOD is adopting AI from a Defence Digital DAIC perspective\nNigel Shaw\, CDIO DE&S\, MOD – Lighting the AI Fuse\nAlexandru Marcoci\, University of Cambridge\, on How to effectively manage AI Risks\nSam McBriar\, Director of Research & Technology & Solution Innovation\, Thales – Deploying AI in Operational Capabilities\nDr Adam Zagorecki\, Senior Research Fellow\, Cranfield University – AI in Defence: Understanding the Landscape\nVenus Arsenio\, BAE Systems/TD-Info Vanguard & Dr Sinead O’Brien\, Data Scientist\, BAE Systems – MoD AI Ethical Principles and the Defence Industry\n\nPanel Four – People & Skills for Defence – Chairing: Dave Appleton\, tlmNEXUS \n\nClaire Fry\, Defence Digital Director\, Functional Integration\, MOD covering the progress made in the MOD’s Digital People & Skills programme\nKatie Renton\, DE&S\, MOD talks about Defence Equipment and Support\, Through Life Support Skills\nNeil Young\, Global Engineering Director and Mikaela Green\, Through Life Training Capability Director\, Land Sector\, Babcock International close Day One discussing Skills challenges and how we are delivering skills in a changing defence landscape\n\nExtra – A less formal gathering of likeminded individuals to network with refreshments – 17.30 to 20.00 hrs \nDAY TWO \nPanel Five – Transforming Defence through Science\, Innovation and Technology – Chairing: Jim Scott\, Lockheed Martin UK \n\nIan Wilcock\, Hd Cyber & Information Systems\, Dstl – S&T Ecosystem : Unlocking the Future and Helping Defence Mitigate the Risks\nDr Chris Moore-Bick\, DST and IBM talk on Quantum Computing – Defence perspectives and opportunities\, Roberto Lo Nardo will participate on the panel\nDr Natasha Fox\, MOD Defence Innovation Unit Deputy Head & Geoff Howes\, MOD Defence Innovation Unity Deputy Head will be discussing MOD’s Innovation Engine.\nJon Spencer\, Dstl Technical Strategy Leader for C4i Systems – Assured Information to the Tactical Edge\n\nPanel Six – Context for Defence – Chairing: Luca Leone\, Kahootz \n\nPaul Tingey\, Strategy Lead for UK Defence\, UK\, Amazon Web Services – Unleashing the power of data: A digital imperative for the defence of the Nation\nRichard Griffith\, Chief Technology Officer\, Envitia – The critical role of data: helping Royal Navy design the next generation of Naval platforms\nDan Jones\, MOD Strategic Hub Development Digital discussing the Digitial Deterrence\nDave Hawken\, Defence Digital\, MOD covers Improving Resilience through Digital Sustainability\n\nDAY TWO – Optional Afternoon Workshop – to contribute to the next edition of the Digital Strategy for Defence.
